Yay! You got the contract signed BUT hmmm, your business customer changed some language in the contract. That doesn’t matter because you didn’t agree to that change, right?

Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), performance under a contract after a business customer’s revision qualifies as legal acceptance of the revision. And, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t know the law or never noticed the change on the document. Your customer can change the terms of the contract without you. It is important that someone review your signed contract before performance begins. Avoid the pitfall of only reviewing the signature line and create the business practice of reviewing every page of your document after it is signed. Contract laws are complicated and can vary depending on your state, type of industry, even your specialized business practices.
