Renewal Term
Define the renewed start and end dates, renewal frequency, and whether renewal is automatic or requires affirmative notice.
A LUMA Renewal Agreement documents continued rights and obligations, locks in pricing or adjusted rates, and reduces risk of disputes by confirming scope and timelines. It preserves evidence of consent and provides a clear basis for billing, service delivery, and remedial steps if performance issues arise.
Renewal agreements are prepared by contracting parties, often with input from contract administrators, legal counsel, and finance teams before signatures are collected.
Final signatures should come from authorized signatories with delegated authority; delegations should be documented or referenced in the agreement to avoid later challenges.
The Contract Manager coordinates renewal timing, negotiates operational terms, and ensures the document matches existing purchase orders and SOWs. They confirm internal approvals and track implementation milestones after signature.
Legal Counsel reviews legal risk, liability caps, termination language, and assignment restrictions. Counsel also advises on governing law, signature authority, and whether notarization or witnessing is advisable.
Define the renewed start and end dates, renewal frequency, and whether renewal is automatic or requires affirmative notice.
Specify renewed pricing, invoicing intervals, accepted payment methods, and late payment consequences or interest rates.
State any changes to deliverables, service levels, response times, or excluded services compared with the original agreement.
Confirm grounds for termination during the renewal term, notice periods, cure opportunities, and post-termination obligations.
Describe how future changes are made, whether by written amendment signed by both parties or by specified administrative updates.
Include signature blocks with printed names, titles, dates, and a statement confirming signatory authority to bind each party.
