Contract Amendments

A signed contract is read-only. When something changes — the date, the price, the guest count — you add an amendment rather than editing what was agreed. The original stays intact, which is the whole point.

Amendment or addendum

Two types, and the builder describes the difference itself:

Both go through the same drafting and signature process. The distinction is for your records and for anyone reading the file later.

Creating one

From the signed contract — or the Create Amendment action on its row in the table — choose the Type, then write a summary of what's changing. The summary is what appears in the amendment history, so write it for someone reading it in a year.

The new document is numbered automatically and sequentially against its parent: Amendment #1, Amendment #2, Addendum #1, and so on.

Where amendments show up

In the contracts table

Under their parent. Contracts with amendments get an expand control; opening it shows the amendments nested beneath, each with its own status, signatures and expiry.

In the contract detail

A list of linked amendments with their number, type, date, summary and status.

Amendments behave like contracts in every other respect — you can view the public version, copy the signing link, extend the expiration, or void one that hasn't been signed.

Signing

Exactly the same flow as the original: the client gets a link, enters the PIN from their email, and signs. See Sending Contracts for Signature.

Keeping an eye on them

The Analytics tab counts them — original contracts, total amendments with an amendment rate, addendums and revisions. A rate that climbs is worth reading as a signal about the original contract rather than about the couples.
