An attachable addendum that fixes the payment mechanics of an existing services agreement: net period, late interest, disputed-amount procedure, currency, and fees. Use it when the underlying contract is vague about payment.
This addendum sets the payment terms for the engagement described below. It attaches to an existing agreement between the parties and, for payment matters, controls over any conflicting language in that agreement. All other terms of the agreement stay unchanged.
This payment terms addendum (the "Addendum") is between Client company name (the "Client") and Contractor full name (the "Contractor"). It supplements the agreement titled Underlying agreement title, dated Underlying agreement date (the "Agreement"), and takes effect on Addendum effective date.
If this Addendum conflicts with the Agreement on invoicing, payment timing, late payment, disputes, currency, or fees, this Addendum controls. Everything else in the Agreement remains in force unchanged.
