Document background
The Addendum To Purchase Contract is a essential legal instrument used under Dutch law when parties need to modify their existing purchase agreement without creating an entirely new contract. This document type is particularly relevant when circumstances require adjustments to original terms, such as changes in price, delivery schedules, specifications, or other contractual obligations. It's commonly used in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts, requiring compliance with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly Books 6 and 7. The addendum must clearly reference the original agreement, specify modifications, and maintain consistency with Dutch contract law principles. This document type is crucial for maintaining clear documentation of contract changes while preserving the legal framework of the original agreement.
