# 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

1. Navigate to the *To Do List* widget on your **dashboard**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.impact.com/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contracts/view-and-accept-upcoming-contract-changes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
