When served Clause Samples
The "When served" clause defines the specific point in time when a notice, document, or legal communication is considered officially delivered to the recipient. In practice, this clause typically outlines the acceptable methods of service—such as personal delivery, mail, or electronic transmission—and specifies when service is deemed effective, for example, upon receipt, after a certain number of days, or at the time of sending. Its core function is to provide certainty and clarity regarding the timing of legal notifications, thereby reducing disputes about whether and when a party has been properly informed.
When served. A notice given:
(a) by email is served on the day of transmission in the location of the recipient, unless the sender’s machine generates a report that the email was not sent at all or in its entirety. If the email has not been completely transmitted by 5 pm (determined by reference of the time of day at the recipient’s address) it will be regarded as having been served on the next business day; and
(b) on a day other than a business day will be regarded as having been served on the first business day (determined by reference of the time of day at the recipient’s address) after such day. For the purposes of this clause, a “business day” is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday at the recipient’s address.
When served. A notice given:

(c) by email is served on the day of transmission in the location of the recipient, unless the sender’s machine generates a report that the email was not sent at all or in its entirety. If the email has not been completely transmitted by 5 pm (determined by reference of the time of day at the recipient’s address) it will be regarded as having been served on the next business day; and
(d) on a day other than a business day will be regarded as having been served on the first business day (determined by reference of the time of day at the recipient’s address) after such day. For the purposes of this clause, a “business day” is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday at the recipient’s address.
