What is a Back Letter?

A back letter refers to a supplementary agreement or document issued by a party involved in a transaction or contract. It serves as a written confirmation, clarification, or amendment to the terms and conditions agreed upon in the original contract. A back letter may include additional provisions, adjustments, or specific arrangements that were not initially covered in the primary contract. It acts as a legal record to supplement or modify the original contract, providing clarity and addressing any subsequent changes or specific requirements that arise during the course of the business relationship.
