On the margins

Need help:

The terms of the deal will change on the margins.

What does "change on the margins" mean here?
Thanks!

On the periphery - the minor details, not central to the deal, will change.

If I may say so, I believe an American would use the word "marginally" instead of "on the margins". The latter sounds distinctly British to me.

I agree it is in British use - I hadn't realised that it would not be used in the US(?)
