If the company changes owners in whole or in part, it is still the same company and this will not terminate any contracts. If, instead, the company sells its business (which is an asset of the company that it can sell like a car or a building), then the contracts are transferred as part of that sale.

If the assets of a company are taken over or the company merges with another, this will affect its legal identity. When this happens, any contracts which that company is a party to will need to be adjusted so that any rights and obligations it has will transfer to the new company.
The General Rule and Exceptions The general rule with respect to contracts is that they are freely assignable. Like other types of property, agreements and the rights under those agreements can be transferred from one party to another. There are, however, exceptions to this general rule.
The general rule is that contracts are freely assignable unless the contract itself, a statute, or public policy dictates otherwise.
An assignment of contract occurs when one party to an existing contract (the "assignor") hands off the contract's obligations and benefits to another party (the "assignee"). Ideally, the assignor wants the assignee to step into his shoes and assume all of his contractual obligations and rights.
A company could choose to assign a contract to one party and assume that it will have rights outlined in the contract. However, an assignment will only transfer the company's rights, such as getting paid. The burden under the contract does not get transferred and will stay with the company.
Assignment of contract allows one person to assign, or transfer, their rights, obligations, or property to another. An assignment of contract clause is often included in contracts to give either party the opportunity to transfer their part of the contract to someone else in the future.
An assumption agreement, sometimes called an assignment and assumption agreement, is a legal document that allows one party to transfer rights and/or obligations to another party. It allows one party to "assume" the rights and responsibilities of the other party.
What is a Transfer Agreement? A transfer agreement is a legally binding document that conveys ownership from one person or entity to another.
