Document background
The Sales Addendum is essential for businesses operating under German law who need to modify existing sales arrangements without creating entirely new agreements. It's commonly used when parties need to update specific terms such as pricing, quantity, delivery schedules, or product specifications in their original sales agreement. This document type must comply with German contract law requirements, particularly the German Civil Code (BGB) and Commercial Code (HGB), and should be carefully drafted to ensure it properly integrates with the original agreement. The Sales Addendum is particularly important in international trade contexts where German law governs the relationship, and special attention must be paid to form requirements and modification rules under German law.
