Contract Null & Void?

A contract was signed by one party. The other party decided not to sign the contract demanding a change in terms and conditions after having communicated that they would honor the contract, which they wrote. Since then, the party that originally signed the contract has refused to agree to a change in terms or conditions after the original signing occurred.

Is this contract now null and void since the two parties can not come to an agreement even though one party did sign the original contract?

The document never became a contract if both parties did not properly sign and execute it. Thus, it is not a binding document.
