Check for: 1) Consistency with original contract terms (e.g., pricing, termination clauses); 2) Compliance with [Jurisdiction: e.g., California Civil Code] and [Regulations: e.g., ADA]; 3) Clear definition of amended provisions (no ambiguity); 4) Signatory authority (do signatories have power to amend?); 5) Integration clause (does the amendment supersede conflicting terms?). Provide a summary of findings (3 bullet points) and 2 recommended revisions to address gaps. Use plain language for non-legal stakeholders."ADVERTISEMENT - IN-ARTICLE
