The enforceability of this clause depends heavily on your state's law and the specific language used. I'd recommend having an attorney review the exact wording before taking action.

Always get contract modifications in writing. Verbal modifications are theoretically enforceable in some situations but nearly impossible to prove. A quick email confirmation costs nothing and saves everything.

The UCC governs sale of goods contracts; common law governs services. The rules are different. Make sure you're looking at the right framework for your situation.

In my experience, most contract disputes settle before trial. The key is having strong documentation of the original agreement and any modifications. Email trails are your best friend.
