Lollypop Manufacturer has a long standing contract with Retailer

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer

yes- if there is a variation clause and both parties agree. This would usually be written in as a 'price adjustment clause' but if it's not, then it could be agreed and signed by both parties as a 'contract variation'. See p.16 for more details

I'm gonna have to go with option C as well. Gotta love those variation clauses, they really come in handy!

As long as it's done in a transparent and fair manner, a price increase can be negotiated.

Hah, option D is definitely a trap answer. Prices don't always go up in contracts, that's just silly.

I don't know, I'm thinking option A might be the best answer. The contract is still ongoing, so they can't just change the price unilaterally.

That's true, unless there is a variation clause and both parties agree to it.

But the contract is still ongoing for another 2 years, so they might not be able to change the price.

Option C seems like the way to go here. If there's a variation clause and both parties agree, then a price increase should be allowed.

If there's no agreement, it could definitely cause some tension in the contract relationship.

But what if the buyer doesn't agree to the price increase? Would the contract be at risk?
