Settlement of disputes on changing the terms of the contract or on termination of the contract

---

The contract as a legal institution is a reliable way to settle economic and civil law relations between its parties. This document specifies in detail the rights and obligations of the parties, the terms of fulfillment of obligations and acceptance of work, and other important conditions. The contract is concluded in writing, and sometimes also certified by a notary in order to ensure proper and timely fulfillment of the parties' obligations and to avoid future disputes.

At the same time, a contract concluded between individuals or legal entities, individual and company may itself become the object of a dispute. It is not always possible to foresee all the circumstances that may occur during the term of the contract.

Sometimes there are situations that do not belong to force majeure, but complicate the fulfillment of obligations of one of the parties or make it unprofitable. In such cases, Ukrainian law allows for a change in the terms of the contract or termination of its validity. The ideal outcome of events - the consent of the counterparty, but often the decision of one party is not supported by the second party, which leads to a dispute.

The concept, features of changing the conditions and termination of the contract

The contract is considered to be an agreement of two or more parties associated with the establishment, change or termination of civil rights, obligations.

The grounds for changing the terms or termination of the contract include:

• mutual expression of will of the counterparties;
• unilateral refusal of one of the parties to the transaction to fulfill its obligations in part or in full (if the relevant provision is spelled out in the document);
• demand of one of the parties in case of violation of the terms of the agreement by the other party;
• material change of circumstances compared to those that existed at the time of signing the contract.

A change in the terms/termination of the agreement entails a change/termination of obligations.

A party has 20 days to obtain consent in response to the proposal of the initiator of changes (Article 188 of the Commercial Code of Ukraine). If within this period of time the answer from the counterparty is not received, negotiations did not lead to an agreement, the case is referred to the court.
