The Purchase Contract Extension Addendum serves as a crucial tool when parties wish to continue their existing purchasing relationship beyond the original contract term. This document is particularly valuable when both parties are satisfied with the core agreement but need to extend its duration or make minor modifications. Used extensively in U.S. commercial transactions, it provides a streamlined way to continue business relationships without negotiating an entirely new contract. The addendum typically includes the extension period, any price adjustments, updated delivery schedules, and specifications of which original terms remain in effect.

1. Parties: Identification of all parties to the original contract and extension

2. Background: Reference to original agreement and reason for extension

3. Definitions: Key terms used in the addendum, including reference to original contract definitions

4. Extension Terms: Specific details of the extension period and any modified terms

5. Effect on Original Agreement: Statement of which original terms remain in effect

6. Execution: Signature blocks and date of execution
