The Third-Party Notice option - an exclusive feature of the
WeNotifyYou service.
Most contracts contain a “Notices” provision, which dictates
the required communication method and the persons to whom notice under the
contract is to be sent.
Our service works as a supplemental method for the serving
of those notices. When you include WeNotifyYou, Inc. as a designated
third-party delivery option in your contract, we ensure that the specified persons receive
proper and timely notice as required under the contract.
If the person specified in the Notice Provision
of the contract has left your company, you can easily designate a new person to receive notices. Simply
replace the old name with the new one in your account’s Contact Manager in our
system, and the new person will receive the notice – no need to change the
contact name in large numbers of outstanding contracts.
How does this work?
- When you register with WeNotifyYou, you are assigned a WeNotifyYou ID (this number is located on your account profile), which never
changes.
- To facilitate the Third Party option service, you will simply add a short
instructional paragraph to the language you currently use in your
contracts’ Notices Provisions (see suggested language below).
- You insert the modified language into the Notices Provisions of all your
contracts, making sure that your WeNotifyYou ID is inserted
as part of the template language (also see below).
- When the other party(ies) to your contract wants to send you a notice, they
read the Notice Provision in the contract to determine the appropriate
method of serving notice. As in the past, they will send you notice by the traditional method, but they
will also be directed to go to the WeNotifyYou website, enter your Client
Identification number, and either attach the notice document or insert the
text of the notice.
- WeNotifyYou immediately sends you the notice via e-mail.
A sample of the suggested language to be added to your
boilerplate Notices Provision is shown below in blue:
