Document background
An Addendum To Purchase Agreement is utilized when parties need to modify, update, or amend terms of an existing purchase agreement without creating an entirely new contract. This document is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian context, where commercial transactions must comply with both modern commercial law and Islamic Sharia principles. The addendum typically addresses changes in pricing, delivery terms, specifications, or other commercial terms, and must be structured to maintain the validity of the original agreement while clearly delineating the modifications. It is commonly used in situations where business circumstances have changed, market conditions have shifted, or parties have agreed to alter specific terms of their original arrangement. The document must be drafted with careful consideration of Saudi Arabian commercial regulations and may require specific formatting, attestations, or authorizations depending on the nature of the transaction and the parties involved.
