That can't be answered without reading the memo and understanding what has changed.

Whether a deal memo / term sheet are binding or not depends on the language of the memo. Though generally, most term sheets and deal memo's are not binding, nonetheless your agreement needs to be reviewed to determine its applicability.

If the actual deal documents materially change the memo terms then one needs to raise this inconsistency with the other side immediately.
