Where the principal agreement contains the essential elements of a valid contract, and further binds the parties to terms to be established by one party in future, the danger exists that the critical elements of knowledge of, and assent to, the additional terms will be missing. See Guy Pine, Inc. v. Chrysler Motors Corporation, 201 Kan. 371, 440 P.2d 595 (1968). If the provisions to be incorporated will only explain or particularize the obligations of the parties under the principal contract, there is no obstacle to the enforcement of those supplemental provisions. But where the added terms, established by one of the parties, modify or contradict a material term of the original valid contract, the incorporated terms must fall.
