Document background
An Addendum To Contract is essential when parties need to modify an existing agreement without creating an entirely new contract. Under Austrian law, this document type is commonly used to update terms, add new provisions, or clarify existing clauses in response to changing circumstances or business needs. The addendum must comply with Austrian civil law requirements and maintain consistency with the original contract's intent. It's particularly useful when minor to moderate changes are needed, such as extending deadlines, adjusting prices, or updating specifications. The document should clearly reference the original agreement and specify which provisions are being modified, added, or removed, while explicitly stating that all other terms remain unchanged.
