Document background
The Amendment To Agreement is a critical legal document used when parties to an existing contract need to modify, update, or revise specific terms while keeping the original agreement's framework intact. Under Swiss law, this document type is particularly important as it provides a clear and legally secure way to implement changes to existing contractual relationships. The amendment must comply with Swiss contract law principles, especially those found in the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), which emphasizes clarity and precision in contractual modifications. This document is commonly used when business circumstances change, when parties need to update commercial terms, or when regulatory requirements necessitate contractual adjustments. It typically includes references to the original agreement, specific details of the modifications, and confirmation of unchanged terms, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing contractual framework.
