English Commercial Law - boilerplate clauses (notification delivery)
A notice clause must specify the locations, the means of delivery, and the time at which the notice is deemed to have been received. Because there are now more options for giving notice, these clauses have grown more complicated (eg, fax and email). Most notice provisions forbid giving oral notice and instead call for written notice. They will state the address(es) and the recipient (for example, the company secretary of a corporate party to the contract) of the notice. Most notice clauses stipulate that notice must be delivered in person and delivered during regular business hours. If faxing or emailing a notice is allowed, it might be considered served after it arrives. If sent by mail, it may be considered served two days after mailing. Everything will depend on the language that the parties decide upon. Notice may be provided in any manner, whether verbally or in writing, depending on the situation. Any notice is only valid once it reaches the intended recipient. When a notification is delivered to the addressee, it either reaches him personally, his place of business or mailing address, or, in the absence of either, his regular residence. The message still has effect even if it is transmitted late, incorrectly, or doesn't arrive at all. The notice shall take effect at the time it would have in an ordinary situation. If a withdrawal from a notice reaches the addressee before or simultaneously with the notice, the notice is null and void.
