How to draw up a high-quality additional agreement to any contract

Additional agreements to contracts are important documents that regulate changes and additions to existing agreements. There are several key steps to follow to create a quality supplemental agreement:

1. Specifying the title of the document : Begin by specifying the title of the document, which should contain the words "supplemental agreement" or "amendment agreement", the number and date of the supplemental agreement or "amendment agreement". The numbering is important because there may be many such transactions. It is necessary to specify the full name, number and date of the document (agreement, contract) to which changes are made.

2. Place and date : Specify the place and date of the additional agreement.

3. Parties to the additional agreement : Indicate the same parties as in the original agreement. Check the validity of the data and the authority of the signatories.

4. After indicating the parties, it is necessary to write that "the parties concluded [indicate the name of the document concluded by the parties, i.e. "additional agreement to..." or "agreement on amendments and additions to...", then you need to indicate the name of the document to which amendments are made It is in this paragraph that the abbreviation "additional agreement" is indicated - this is "additional agreement", and the contract to which changes are made - "contract".

5. Content of the contract and clauses to be changed : Analyze the content of the original contract and determine which clauses are subject to change.

6. Formulation of changes : In the first paragraph, indicate that the parties have agreed to make changes to a specific clause and outline the new wording of this clause. the phrase that "the parties agreed to make changes to such and such a clause and set it out in a new edition of the following content is noted.

7. Text of the changes : Provide the text of the changes directly so that the parties can clearly understand how they affect the contract in quotation marks.

8. Termination of additional agreement : Specify the validity period of the additional agreement, which usually coincides with the validity period of the original agreement. Confirm that all other provisions of the contract remain unchanged and the parties confirm their obligations.

9. Signing method : Determine how the additional agreement is signed. If it is an electronic document, indicate whether qualified electronic signatures are used or whether scans are exchanged by e-mail. If it is a paper document, indicate the number of copies. There are no legal restrictions to conclude a contract in paper form, and additional agreements - in scans or to sign with qualified electronic signatures, unless the contract itself prohibits it. Electronic document management is easy with InstaDoc - from UAH 0.8 per signature.

10. Details of the parties : Complete the document with the standard details of the parties.

You can make a DU even simpler, but it will not look professional.
