Legal Speak Made Easy

“Domicilium Citandi et Executandi”

Very commonly found in contracts of all types, and seldom treated seriously enough, this is the address you choose for receiving all legal notices and documents.  Service at or delivery to this address is considered valid in law whether or not you actually get to see the notice/document.  So it is vital to choose an appropriate address up front, one at which any notices or summonses delivered will actually come to your personal attention.  Add your email address if the contract allows you to. And remember to immediately advise the other party (in writing or as required in the contract) of any change in your address.
