44 Best Contract Amendment Templates

1. Define scope and effective date
Clearly state which contract is being amended, the exact provisions or sections changed, and the amendment’s effective date. Refer to the original agreement and any related documents to avoid ambiguity.

2. Include integration and waiver clauses
Add a clause that the amendment supersedes conflicting terms and that all other provisions remain in force. Specify any waivers and their duration to prevent unintended concessions.

3. Signatures and authority
Ensure all required parties sign, include names, titles, dates, and contact information. Attach the original contract as an exhibit and assign an amendment number for version control.
