Document background
A Contract Addendum is essential when parties need to modify terms of an existing agreement without creating an entirely new contract. This document type is commonly used in Indonesian business practice when circumstances require adjustments to commercial terms, deadlines, scope of work, or other contractual provisions. The addendum must comply with Indonesian law requirements, including the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and, where applicable, Law No. 24 of 2009 regarding language requirements. It's particularly important in scenarios where maintaining the original contract structure is preferred over complete replacement, such as in long-term commercial relationships, complex project agreements, or when only specific terms need modification. The document typically requires careful review to ensure consistency with the original agreement and proper execution following Indonesian legal formalities.
