# Adding New Contracts

To add a new contract:

- Click **Product Catalog** on the Product Management menu bar. This displays the Product Catalog window.
- Right-click in the product catalog list and select **New > Contract**. If you are adding the contract to a package, right-click the package and select **New Child > Contrac**t. In either case, the New Contract window is displayed.

#### Tabs

Enter the basic contract information in the upper section, then use the tabs and Contract Terms sections:

- [Main Tab](/v1/docs/contract-main-tab)
- [Behavior Tab](/v1/docs/new-contract-specification-behavior-tab)
- Other Tabs - The **Notes**, **Attributes**, **Availability**, **Web Sales**, and **Browse Tags** tabs are the same as for [Products](/v1/docs/adding-editing-products).

#### Contract Terms and Penalties Sections

Continue configuring the Contract Specification by setting up the appropriate [Contract Terms and Penalties](/v1/docs/contract-terms-and-penalties).

#### Contract Editing Rules

- Once a contract has been assigned to a customer or service, only **Discontinue Date**, **Default Billing Status**, **Service Agreement**, and **Notes** can be edited in Product Catalog.
- Once a contract has been assigned to a customer or service, it cannot be deleted from the Product Catalog.
