Kontraktændringer

Kontraktændringer refer to modifications made to an existing contract. These changes can alter the terms, conditions, or obligations originally agreed upon by the parties involved. When a contract is amended, it is crucial that all parties involved consent to the changes. This consent is typically documented in writing, often through a written amendment or addendum signed by all signatories to the original agreement. Verbal agreements to alter a contract are generally not legally binding, especially for contracts that are required to be in writing by law.

The purpose of a kontraktændring is to adapt the contract to new circumstances, correct errors, or reflect a mutual agreement to change the original terms. For example, a contract for services might be amended to extend the project deadline, increase the scope of work, or adjust the payment schedule. It is important that the amendment clearly states which clauses of the original contract are being modified and what the new terms are. Without clear documentation, ambiguity can lead to disputes. Parties should also consider whether the changes are significant enough to require a completely new contract, rather than an amendment.
