Agreement on contractual notices

Selected scenario

Checked 19 October 2026. Selected scenario only.

Key point. Two private Kazakhstan LLPs may agree future ordinary paper correspondence under their checked contract: registered post and personal delivery. Record addresses, recipients and delivery evidence. Sending a draft alone does not change the existing rules.

Actions

Locate the current notice clause. Define the ordinary messages covered and the precise date on which the new procedure starts.

Identify postal addresses and persons authorised to receive letters. For personal delivery, retain a copy bearing the date, recipient details and signature; for post, retain the text, enclosure list and delivery records.

Distinguish dispatch from receipt. Do not deem every document received merely because it was sent. Assess returned or refused letters and disputed deadlines under the law, contract and evidence.

Agree and sign matching Kazakh and Russian texts in the form required by the original contract. Keep counterparts; the new procedure applies from the agreed time and does not prove delivery of earlier letters.

Scope and documents

KZ-B008 · en · Practical memo

When this applies. Two private Kazakhstan LLPs; an effective ordinary private contract and authority have been checked. Both parties agree only future ordinary paper notices.

Other situations. Electronic signatures or special electronic regimes, courts and authorities, bank payees, unilateral contact changes, mandatory special delivery, notarisation/registration, foreign parties and the AIFC require separate review.

Documents. Contract and amendments; existing correspondence clause; addresses and recipient authority; message list; commencement date; agreed signed texts.

Clarify. Which messages? What does the law or contract already require? Who receives post? Which evidence will be retained? Any earlier letters or live deadline dispute?
