About this contract variation agreement

This is an easy to use document that can be used to make changes to any contract. Using this agreement, you can add, delete or change words or entire sections.

We recommend using an agreement such as this one to change terms rather than agreeing the new terms verbally as having the agreement in writing provides a record of your agreed position should any dispute arise later.

When to use this contract variation agreement

This document can be used to change the terms of any contract provided:

  • All parties to the original contract agree to the changes and sign the document
  • You are not trying to vary a personal will
  • You are not trying to change the parties to the contract (use a Novation agreement: transfer of service contract instead)

Commonly, this agreement would be used where there has been an unforeseen change in circumstances (such as increases in the price of raw materials), or in purpose or objective of the contract.

It can be used to vary the terms of an employment contract.

Contract variation agreement contents

The document is relatively short and easy to use. It contains among other standard paragraphs:

  • Interpretation
  • The variations
  • Entire understanding: prevents a party from later claiming he was relying on other documents or verbal agreements

Fast and reasonably priced
05 May 2020
The service was easy to locate with a Google search. It was quick, easy and reasonably priced to find a standard variation to contract template. The template was in clear English with helpful guidance notes available. I have used variation agreements a great deal in earlier positions, but not for a while. It became necessary in my current work to prepare a variation and I had no template available. The Lawman template brought back memories and I am confident it covered the necessary points. I would use Lawman for a start on any templates I need but can't access.

I am trying to transfer my property to our SMSF and had to provide a variation to the deed. I needed a template to follow and it would have taken me hours to do one. Your service was so user friendly and has saved me a lot of time and money. I will be using your site again and would highly recommend to others.
Thank you
