§ 4-2-209 — Modification, rescission, and waiver

Colorado § 4-2-209

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 04: Uniform
• Art.: Sales

Text

(1) An agreement modifying a
contract within this article 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a signed writing or other signed record cannot be otherwise modified or rescinded,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 article (section
4-2-201) 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) of this section, 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.
