Record date and channel

Calculate notice under your agreement and obtain professional clarification for ambiguity/near deadlines.
What should you prepare?

Date schedule.

Please note

Do not copy another model's dates.

03

Agree terms

List period, price, indexation, repairs and security and check whether changes affect an existing option.
What should you prepare?

Renewal draft.

Please note

A positive discussion is not necessarily final agreement.

04

Document exercise or amendment

Send required notice or sign a clear amendment identifying which earlier clauses remain.
What should you prepare?

Notice and receipt.

Please note

Conflicting versions create uncertainty.

05

Check practical continuation

Review security validity/contact details and required registration; prepare timely exit if agreement fails.
What should you prepare?

Signed agreement.

Please note

Continued payment does not settle all disputed terms.
