lisakäskluse

Lisakäskluse is an Estonian term that translates to "additional clause" or "supplementary provision." It refers to a part of a legal document, contract, or agreement that is added to an existing text to modify, clarify, or expand upon its terms. These clauses are not part of the original, primary agreement but are incorporated to address specific circumstances or to provide further details that were not initially included.

The purpose of a lisakäskluse is to ensure that all relevant aspects of an agreement are covered and that there is no ambiguity. It can be used to introduce new obligations, change existing ones, or provide definitions for specific terms used in the main body of the document. For instance, in a lease agreement, a lisakäskluse might detail specific rules regarding pet ownership or subletting that were not explicitly mentioned in the main contract.

These additional clauses are legally binding if they are properly incorporated into the main document, typically through a formal amendment or addendum process. Both parties involved must agree to the terms of the lisakäskluse, and their signatures usually signify their consent. The inclusion of such clauses helps to prevent future disputes by ensuring that all parties have a clear and comprehensive understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
