Modification, rescission, and waiver
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) An agreement modifying a contract within this chapter needs no consideration to be binding.
(2) A signed agreement which excludes modification or rescission except by a signed writing
or other signed record cannot be otherwise modified or rescinded, but except as between
merchants such a requirement on a form supplied by the merchant must be separately signed
by the other party.
(3) The requirements of the statute of frauds section of this chapter (Section 70A-2-201) must be
satisfied if the contract as modified is within its provisions.
(4) Although an attempt at modification or rescission does not satisfy the requirements of
Subsection (2) or (3) it can operate as a waiver.
(5) A party who has made a waiver affecting an executory portion of the contract may retract the
waiver by reasonable notification received by the other party that strict performance will be
required of any term waived, unless the retraction would be unjust in view of a material change
of position in reliance on the waiver.
