The Contract Amendment is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss business practice, used when parties need to modify an existing contractual relationship without creating an entirely new agreement. It is particularly relevant when circumstances change, business needs evolve, or parties agree to alter specific terms of their original contract. This document type must comply with Swiss law, specifically the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO), and should clearly identify the original contract, specify the exact changes being made, and confirm which provisions remain unchanged. Contract Amendments can range from simple modifications of dates or amounts to complex changes in obligations, rights, or responsibilities. They are commonly used in both commercial and civil contexts, requiring careful attention to maintain legal certainty and clear documentation of the parties' revised intentions.
