Document background
The Addendum To Extend Contract is a critical document used when parties wish to continue their contractual relationship beyond the original termination date under Swiss law. This document type is particularly relevant when the original agreement's terms remain satisfactory, but the duration needs to be adjusted. It's commonly used in ongoing business relationships where renegotiation of the entire contract is unnecessary or impractical. The addendum must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO), and typically includes the extension period, any updated terms, and confirmation of the continuing validity of the original contract's provisions. It's essential for business continuity and relationship management, offering a more efficient alternative to creating new contracts.
