Document background
A Sales Addendum is a crucial legal document used when parties need to modify their existing sales agreement without creating an entirely new contract. Under Dutch law, this document must comply with the Burgerlijk Wetboek (Dutch Civil Code) requirements for contract modifications. It's commonly used when business circumstances require adjustments to pricing, product specifications, delivery terms, or other commercial arrangements. The Sales Addendum ensures that changes are properly documented and legally binding while maintaining the validity of the original agreement. It's particularly relevant in ongoing commercial relationships where flexibility is needed to adapt to changing market conditions, new business requirements, or modified commercial terms. The document should clearly reference the original agreement and specify which provisions are being modified, added, or removed.
