So this is a renewal with the 10 day clause? Or an existing contract that has been amended?
My contracts have a clause in them that clearly state any changes must be presented in writing, and agreed in writing by the a director from both companies, and these changes have a notice period from which that cannot come into force until that notice period has elapsed.

Or something like this

na the OP accepted a change to the existing contract - although if it is not in writing and signed.....

What's the problem?

Renewal started from today to run till 23rd December.

Initially the renewal contained a 1 month notice period.

I agreed a change of notice to 10 days.

Next day Client Co gives me 10 days notice.

I'm out on the 15th November.

C'est la vie
