Provided that, for the purposes of this paragraph, where the person to whom notice has to be given does not have arrangements for receiving and responding to notices for any period between 4.30 pm and 8.00 am the following day, the undertaker shall have complied with his obligation if he serves a notice by 10.00 am on that day.\n(2) In any other case under the Act, or these Regulations, where any person is required or authorised to give a notice, such notice, at the option of the person giving it, shall be given by delivering it to the person to whom it is addressed, or by leaving at his proper address, or by telefacsimile or electronic means, or by sending it by first class post to him at that address, or by any other means agreed between the person giving it and the person to whom it is to be sent.\n(3) Where a notice may be served by telefacsimile or other electronic means, then, unless the contrary is proved, service is deemed to be effected at the time when the transmitting apparatus records satisfactory completion of the transmission, provided that where, after three attempts (duly recorded by the person serving the notice) to effect service by such means, service cannot be effected, the notice may be given by telephone and a copy thereof served upon the person to whom it is addressed by any of the means referred to in paragraph (2) as soon as practicable.\n(4) For the purposes of this regulation, the proper address of any person to whom notice is to be given shall be, where such person has furnished to the person giving the notice an address for service of notices under the Act, that address, and otherwise, in the case of a corporation, the registered or principal office of the corporation, or, in any other case, the last known address of such person, provided that a person may furnish different addresses for different notices or different classes of notice.",
