Partners that have already signed a contract can be easily switched over to a new set of terms. Once accepted, their new terms will go into effect on a date you specify (as long as it is past the notification period).
Tip
If you have a set of template terms that have no partners signed to it, you can modify those terms as much as you want.
Note
Allow for each planned change to successfully roll out before setting another one. Also, if you catch any errors in your upcoming changes, withdraw the original one before creating a new one. To do so, visit the Imminent Changes by navigating through Contracts → Changes in the left navigation menu.

The Fallback Contract is the contract that will govern your partnership after a temporary contract expires.
You can fallback to the current contract or another template term. If you choose another Template Term, you will need to have another template term already set up.
Not checking the box to enable Fallback Contracts will end the partnership when the end date entered comes.
Note
You can only have one fallback set up per contract at a time. Having more than one fallback will cancel prior changes to the contract and may leave your partner without a contract. If you set up a second fallback while the first is active, or before the first fallback begins, you will overwrite the original fallback.
