sopimusmuutosta

Sopimusmuutos refers to the modification or amendment of an existing contract or agreement. In Finnish contract law, parties are generally free to agree on changes to their contractual obligations. A sopimusmuutos requires the mutual consent of all parties involved in the original agreement. This consent can be expressed explicitly, often through a written addendum or amendment document, or implicitly through the parties' conduct demonstrating their intention to abide by the new terms.

The process of a sopimusmuutos typically involves negotiating the proposed changes, drafting the new terms, and then formally agreeing to them. It is crucial that the amendment clearly outlines what aspects of the original contract are being altered, added, or removed. Without clear documentation, disputes can arise regarding the scope and validity of the changes.

A sopimusmuutos can cover a wide range of contractual elements, such as changes to delivery times, payment terms, scope of services, or quantities of goods. The original contract may also contain specific clauses detailing how amendments should be made, which must be followed for the sopimusmuutos to be legally effective. If a sopimusmuutos is not properly executed, the original contract terms remain in force.
