• ALTERATION
  
  A change made to an executed contract which has not been approved by the parties to the contract. An alteration may constitute fraud if it has the impact of significantly affecting the rights of a party to the contract and was intentionally carried out by another party. If fraud is found, the innocent party may void the contract.
