Document background
The Addendum To Change Name On Contract is a essential legal instrument used when a party to an existing contract undergoes a name change, whether due to corporate rebranding, merger, marriage, legal name change, or other circumstances. This document is particularly relevant in Canadian business and legal contexts, where it must comply with both federal and provincial contract laws. The addendum serves multiple purposes: it officially records the name change, ensures continuity of contractual obligations, prevents potential disputes about party identity, and maintains the enforceability of the original agreement. It typically includes references to the original contract, specific details of the name change, confirmation that all other terms remain unchanged, and requirements for execution. The document is crucial for maintaining clear business records and legal compliance, especially in regulated industries or when dealing with government entities.
