delivery confirmation
Definition
Delivery confirmation is proof that a document, package, or legal notice actually reached the intended recipient. Courts and contracts often require this proof because the moment something is officially delivered can trigger important deadlines, rights, or obligations for both parties.
Example
If you send a contract termination letter to a vendor, a signed return receipt from the post office serves as your delivery confirmation, proving they received your notice on a specific date.
Watch Out
Never assume that just dropping something in the mail counts as official delivery, because without confirmation proof, the other party can claim they never received it and your legal deadlines may not have started running.
