Description

This is basically a modification of the original contract. Modification is written change made to a contract. It may be unilateral in accordance with the changes clause in the contract or bilateral. Modification may introduce or cancel specifications or terms of a contract without effecting the purpose of the contract. Unilateral modifications are changed usually through a modification order and mutually agreed change is made by a supplemental agreement. It is also called contract amendment or modification of a contract.

New Jersey Extended Date for Performance refers to a legal provision that allows parties involved in a contractual agreement to mutually agree upon an extended deadline for the completion of their obligations, beyond the initial deadline specified in the original contract. This provision provides a level of flexibility and leniency in contractual relationships, enabling parties to adapt to unforeseen circumstances or unexpected delays that may hinder the timely execution of their contractual duties. In New Jersey, the Extended Date for Performance serves as a mechanism for parties to adjust their original agreement to account for delays caused by factors beyond their control. These factors can include natural disasters, strikes, supply chain disruptions, or any other unforeseen event that could impede the timely fulfillment of contractual obligations. By invoking the Extended Date for Performance provision, both parties are given an opportunity to negotiate and agree upon a new, realistic deadline that accommodates the delay while ensuring fairness and preserving the intentions of the original contract. This provision assists in maintaining the contractual relationship between the parties, preventing unnecessary disputes, and promoting cooperation and good faith. There are various types of New Jersey Extended Date for Performance, each applicable to different situations and contractual agreements. These include: 1. Force Mature Extended Date: This type of extension is typically invoked when parties encounter circumstances beyond their control, such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other events classified as force majeure. Force majeure clauses in contracts specify the events that qualify as force majeure and provide a framework for the Extended Date for Performance to be activated. 2. Mutual Agreement Extended Date: In this scenario, both parties voluntarily agree to extend the performance date due to unforeseen circumstances that are not explicitly covered by force majeure events. This type of extension requires the consent of both parties involved in the contract and cannot be unilaterally imposed. 3. Court-Ordered Extended Date: In certain situations where disputes arise, and resolving them through negotiation or mutual agreement is not possible, parties may seek intervention from a court. In these cases, the court may order an Extended Date for Performance to allow additional time for resolving the dispute before enforcing contractual obligations. 4. Contingent Extended Date: This type of extension is contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specific events, which influence the parties' ability to perform their obligations. For instance, a construction contract may have an Extended Date for Performance clause triggered by the completion of preliminary work, obtaining necessary permits, or securing financing. It is important to note that the exact terms and conditions of the Extended Date for Performance vary across contracts, and parties should carefully review their specific agreements to understand the provisions and requirements pertaining to their particular situation.
