  admissible as evidence in judicial proceedings. 
  
  **II.5.2. Date of communications by mail and email**
  
  Any communication is deemed to have been made when the receiving party receives it, 
  unless this FWC contract refers to the date when the communication was sent. 
  
  E-mail is deemed to have been received by the receiving party on the day of dispatch of 
  that e-mail, provided that it is sent to the e-mail address indicated in Article I.8. The 
  sending party must be able to prove the date of dispatch. In the event that the sending 
  party receives a non-delivery report, it must make every effort to ensure that the other 
  party actually receives the communication by email or mail. In such a case, the sending 
  party is not held in breach of its obligation to send such communication within a specified 
  deadline. 
  
  Mail sent to the contracting authority is deemed to have been received by the contracting 
  authority on the date on which the department responsible referred to in Article I.8 
  registers it. 
  
  *Formal notifications*are considered to have been received by the receiving party on the 
  date of receipt indicated in the proof received by the sending party that the message was 
  delivered to the specified recipient.
