# View & Accept Upcoming Contract Changes
Your contract with a partnered brand can change based on factors like the effective date passing, the brand updating its terms, or reaching a pre-defined budget. These changes take effect automatically once the scheduled start date arrives. While you can review upcoming changes, you won’t be able to reject them. In some cases, the brand may let you accept the new terms before the official start date.
Upcoming contract changes are different from [upcoming payout changes](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contracts/view-upcoming-payout-changes.md).
## Causes for upcoming contract changes
There are 3 common reasons why your contract with a brand will have upcoming changes:
* Your contract is expiring and fallback terms will soon take effect.
* The brand modified certain terms in your contract.
* The budget cap for action payouts will be activated soon.
## View upcoming contract changes
Most contract changes take effect automatically, but you can view any upcoming changes ahead of time as follows:
1. Navigate to the *To Do List* widget on your **dashboard**.
2. Identify the upcoming contract changes to-do item, then select [**View Contract Changes**](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/campaigns/mp-view-io-imminentchanges-flow.ihtml).
3. On the *Upcoming Contract Changes* screen, hover over the brand’s row for which you want to view the contract changes, then select  **\[More]** → **View New Terms**.
## Accept contract changes early
Depending on your agreement with your partnered brand, you might be allowed to accept upcoming contract changes early. Follow these steps to *view* and *accept* upcoming contract changes.
1. Navigate to the *To Do List* widget on your **dashboard**.
