GLOSSARY
Notice definition
What does Notice mean?
In a contractual context, a notice may be to terminate the agreement, or may be the notice required to do a certain thing under the contract. Notices usually must comply with certain formalities set out in the contract, and certain time limits.
For example, a notice to terminate may need to be served in writing, by a certain date, to be valid. Therefore, a 'notices' clause provides the means by which parties to a contract formally communicate with each under the contract. The inclusion of a notices clause in a commercial agreement allows the parties to provide for an agreed means of sending formal notices to one another rather than rely on statutory provisions which may otherwise apply.
