Amendment Information

Which amendment is this?
        Q. How many times can I amend a contract using an Amending Agreement?

 A. There is no limit at law to the number of times a contract can be amended. However, our contract allows you to make amendments to a contract on 4 separate occasions which should deal with almost all potential situations. If additional amendments are needed after the fourth amendment, then an entirely new contract should be executed.
Q. How many amendments can I make to the contract within a single Amending Agreement?

 A. Our contract allows you to make up to 5 changes to existing terms of the contract. If you have more than 5 amendments to make, you should create a new contract rather than amending the existing one.
(e.g. A. Clause 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase "due on the fourth of each month" and replacing it with the phrase "due on the first of each month."
B. The following provision is hereby added immediately after Section 6.2 of the Agreement: "6.3 The Owner may include a reasonable charge for an excess utility usage by the Renter."
C. Clause 6.2 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following: "6.2 The Owner is responsible for all repairs to the equipment excepting any repairs needed as a result of the Renter's negligence.")
Additional Terms

Q. Can I add completely new clauses to the contract?

 A. Yes, you can use the Additional Terms section of the questions page to create new contractual terms that were not contained in the contract originally.
Signing Details Q. Can I amend the lease without the other party's consent?

 A. No, a legal contract between two or more parties cannot be altered unilaterally. Our Amending Agreement contains spaces for the parties to the original contract to acknowledge their consent to the amendment by signing their names.

Date Agreement to be Signed: Q. I do not know when the Amending Agreement will be signed. Can I fill in the date later?

 A. Yes, by selecting 'Unsure' as the date the agreement will be signed, a blank line will be inserted into the contract so that you can add the correct date after printing the document.
