N

novation

is a change in a contract that involves a replacement agreement or a replacement of a party.

Example: A homeowner refinances a mortgage with the same mortgage company. The parties remain the same, but the old agreement (mortgage) is substituted with a new agreement. That is called a novation of the contract.
