Document background
The Addendum MOU is a critical document used in the United Arab Emirates when parties need to modify their existing memorandum of understanding without creating an entirely new agreement. This document type is particularly relevant when circumstances change, new opportunities arise, or clarifications are needed to the original arrangement. The Addendum MOU maintains the flexible and non-binding nature of the original MOU while incorporating necessary changes. It's commonly used in both public and private sectors across the UAE, including free zones and mainland jurisdictions. The document typically includes specific references to the original MOU, detailed amendments, and confirmations about the continuing validity of unchanged terms. It must comply with UAE legal requirements while maintaining the informal nature that makes MOUs attractive for preliminary or framework arrangements.
