DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS

Methods of Delivery and When Notice Is Deemed Received

The effectiveness and enforceability of any termination notice depends upon proper delivery. Under Colorado law and as set forth in C.R.S. § 4-2-309(3), termination of a contract by one party requires that reasonable notification be received by the other party. The following guidance addresses delivery methods and the determination of when notice is deemed received.

1. REVIEW THE UNDERLYING AGREEMENT FIRST

Before delivering any notice, the Terminating Party must carefully review the notice provisions of the Underlying Agreement (typically found in the "Notices" section). The Agreement may specify:

• Required methods of delivery (e.g., certified mail only);
• Addresses for notice (physical and/or electronic);
• When notice is deemed effective (e.g., upon receipt, upon sending, after a specified number of days); and
• Any additional requirements (e.g., duplicate copy to counsel).

The contractual notice provisions control. If the Agreement specifies a method, use that method. Failure to comply with contractual notice requirements may render the termination ineffective.

2. RECOMMENDED DELIVERY METHODS

Method	When Deemed Received	Documentation
Personal / Hand Delivery	Upon delivery and acknowledgment of receipt	Obtain signed acknowledgment of receipt
U.S. Certified Mail (Return Receipt Requested)	On the date shown on the return receipt (green card), or if refused, on the date of refusal	Retain certified mail receipt and return receipt
Overnight Courier (e.g., FedEx, UPS)	On the date of delivery as shown on the courier's tracking confirmation	Retain tracking number and delivery confirmation
Email (if permitted by the Agreement)	On the date the email is sent, provided the sender does not receive a delivery failure notification; or on such date as specified in the Agreement	Retain sent email, delivery/read receipt if available, and any response
Facsimile (if permitted by the Agreement)	On the date shown on the transmission confirmation report	Retain transmission confirmation report

3. BEST PRACTICES

(a) Use Multiple Methods. Where practicable, deliver the notice by two or more methods (e.g., email and certified mail) to ensure receipt and to create redundant proof of delivery.

(b) Send to All Required Addresses. If the Agreement requires copies to additional persons (e.g., in-house counsel, registered agent), ensure delivery to all specified recipients.

(c) Retain Proof of Delivery. Maintain copies of all delivery confirmations, tracking records, return receipts, and transmission reports. These records may be critical in the event of a dispute.

(d) Calendar Deadlines. Note and calendar the date by which notice must be received (not merely sent) to ensure compliance with contractual deadlines, particularly for non-renewal notices.

(e) Confirm Receipt. Request written acknowledgment of receipt from the recipient. Include an acknowledgment block in each notice (as provided in the forms above).

4. COLORADO-SPECIFIC DELIVERY CONSIDERATIONS

(a) Under Colorado law, an agreement dispensing with notification is invalid if its operation would be unconscionable. See C.R.S. § 4-2-309(3).

(b) If the Agreement is silent on notice methods, reasonable notice under the circumstances is required. Courts will examine the totality of the circumstances, including the urgency of the matter, the parties' prior course of dealing, and industry custom.

(c) For electronic delivery, the Colorado Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (C.R.S. § 24-71.3-101 et seq.) provides that an electronic record is deemed received when it enters an information processing system designated or used by the recipient for that purpose and from which it is capable of being retrieved. See C.R.S. § 24-71.3-115.

COLORADO-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Governing Law, Venue, and Statutory Framework

The following provisions apply to all notices and agreements contained in this Termination Notice Pack and are intended to be incorporated by reference into each form.

1. GOVERNING LAW

Each notice and agreement in this Termination Notice Pack shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its choice-of-law or conflicts-of-law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. To the extent the Underlying Agreement involves the sale of goods, the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code (C.R.S. Title 4) shall apply.

2. VENUE AND JURISDICTION

(a) Exclusive Venue. Any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to any notice, agreement, or dispute in connection with this Termination Notice Pack or the Underlying Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in:

☐ Denver County, Colorado (Denver District Court or the United States District Court for the District of Colorado)

☐ [________________________________] County, Colorado

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts specified above and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum, lack of personal jurisdiction, or improper venue. Personal jurisdiction shall be established pursuant to C.R.S. § 13-1-124 (Colorado Long-Arm Statute) to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(c) Service of Process. Each party agrees that service of process may be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address specified in the notice provisions of the Underlying Agreement, or by any other means permitted under the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure.

3. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

(a) General Contract Actions. Under C.R.S. § 13-80-101(1)(a), the statute of limitations for all contract actions (including actions under the Uniform Commercial Code) is three (3) years after the cause of action accrues, unless otherwise specified by law.

(b) Liquidated Debt and Certain Obligations. Under C.R.S. § 13-80-103.5, actions on a liquidated debt, an unliquidated determinable amount of money due, unpaid rent, or certain other obligations are subject to a six (6) year statute of limitations from accrual.

(c) UCC Sales Contracts. Under C.R.S. § 4-2-725, an action for breach of any contract for sale must be commenced within four (4) years after the cause of action has accrued. By the original agreement, the parties may reduce this period to not less than one (1) year, but may not extend it.

(d) Tolling and Discovery. The applicable statute of limitations may be subject to tolling under certain circumstances, including fraudulent concealment. The Parties should consult with legal counsel regarding the accrual date and any applicable tolling doctrines.

4. COLORADO CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT

(a) To the extent the Underlying Agreement involves consumer transactions, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-101 et seq.) may provide additional rights and remedies to the terminating party, including treble damages for bad-faith conduct under C.R.S. § 6-1-113 and recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

(b) A party engaging in unfair or deceptive trade practices as defined in C.R.S. § 6-1-105 in connection with the termination or performance of the Underlying Agreement may be subject to both public and private enforcement actions.

(c) Nothing in this Termination Notice Pack shall be construed to waive any rights afforded to consumers under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.

5. COLORADO PRIVACY ACT — DATA RETURN AND DELETION OBLIGATIONS

(a) If the Underlying Agreement involves the processing of personal data of Colorado residents, the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 et seq., effective July 1, 2023) imposes specific obligations upon controllers and processors with respect to the handling of such data upon termination.

(b) Pursuant to C.R.S. § 6-1-1308, a processor shall, at the choice of the controller, delete or return all personal data to the controller at the end of the provision of services, unless retention of the personal data is required by law.

(c) The controller shall ensure that data processing agreements with processors include provisions for the return or deletion of personal data upon termination, as well as certifications of deletion.

(d) Consumer rights under C.R.S. § 6-1-1306, including the right to deletion, are not affected by the termination of the Underlying Agreement and remain enforceable.

(e) The Parties should review and comply with the Colorado Privacy Act Rules (4 CCR 904-3), as promulgated by the Colorado Attorney General, for additional requirements.

6. ANTICIPATORY REPUDIATION

Under Colorado law and C.R.S. § 4-2-610 (applicable to sales contracts), when either party repudiates the contract with respect to a performance not yet due, the aggrieved party may: (a) for a commercially reasonable time await performance by the repudiating party; (b) resort to any remedy for breach, even though it has notified the repudiating party that it would await performance; and (c) in either case, suspend its own performance. Colorado common law similarly recognizes anticipatory breach, requiring a definite and unequivocal manifestation of intent not to perform.

7. JURY TRIAL WAIVER

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TERMINATION NOTICE PACK, THE UNDERLYING AGREEMENT, OR ANY NOTICE DELIVERED HEREUNDER. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THE UNDERLYING AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF THE MEANING AND CONSEQUENCES OF THIS WAIVER.

8. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Termination Notice Pack or the Underlying Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party, to the extent provided in the Underlying Agreement or permitted by applicable Colorado law.

9. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Termination Notice Pack or any notice delivered hereunder is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Termination Notice Pack shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.

10. WAIVER

No waiver of any provision of this Termination Notice Pack or the Underlying Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

Validity of Electronic Signatures Under Colorado and Federal Law

1. COLORADO UNIFORM ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS ACT (UETA)

(a) The Colorado Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, codified at C.R.S. § 24-71.3-101 et seq., provides that a record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form. See C.R.S. § 24-71.3-107(a).

(b) If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law. See C.R.S. § 24-71.3-107(c).

(e) An electronic record is deemed sent when it is properly directed to an information processing system designated by the recipient and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the electronic record, is in a form capable of being processed by that system, and enters an information processing system outside the control of the sender. See C.R.S. § 24-71.3-115.

2. FEDERAL ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN GLOBAL AND NATIONAL COMMERCE ACT (E-SIGN)

(a) The federal E-SIGN Act, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq., provides that a signature, contract, or other record may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form. See 15 U.S.C. § 7001(a).

(b) The E-SIGN Act applies to transactions in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, and supplements state UETA provisions.

3. APPLICATION TO THIS TERMINATION NOTICE PACK

(a) Each notice and agreement in this Termination Notice Pack may be executed by electronic signature, provided that the parties have agreed to conduct the transaction by electronic means (or have not objected thereto).

(b) Acceptable forms of electronic signature include, without limitation:

• Typed name in a signature block of an email or electronic document;
• Digital signature using a certificate-based system (e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign);

• Any other form of electronic signature that identifies the signer and indicates the signer's intent to sign.

(c) Each party delivering a notice or executing an agreement electronically represents that the electronic signature is the act of the individual identified as the signer and that such individual has the authority to bind the party on whose behalf the signature is affixed.

(d) The Parties agree that electronic signatures on notices and agreements shall have the same legal force and effect as original wet-ink signatures.

4. RECORD RETENTION

Each party shall retain electronic records of all notices, agreements, and signatures delivered or executed under this Termination Notice Pack for the longer of: (a) the period required by the Underlying Agreement; (b) the applicable statute of limitations under Colorado law (see C.R.S. § 13-80-101 and § 13-80-103.5); or (c) seven (7) years from the date of execution or delivery, unless a longer period is required by applicable law or regulation.
