Re: Can we amend the expired contract? My opinion is that any contract has a specified life in itself. A procuring Entity can add life (by Extension) to a living contract before it is declared dead and buried(Expiry). Once a contract is dead (by way of expiry) it can not be returned back to life.
Many types of long-term and automatically renewing contracts have a termination clause. This gives you the steps you need to take if you want to terminate the contract. A common termination clause says that the person who wants out of the contract must notify the others involved of his intent to do so.
