12.6A notice sent pursuant to this Agreement to any of the Parties (or their substitutes) must be sent by personal delivery only to the Parties’ addresses as detailed in this Agreement and, should a party to whom the notice was sent refused to accept it, another two attempts must be made to furnish that Party and, if unsuccessful, the notice must be adhered to the entrance door of his home and, if that Party does not still reside at the address specified in this Agreement, the notice must be furnished to the address specified at the Ministry of the Interior. It must be clarified that a Party who received a notice in practice through any other means (such as electronic mail) and confirmed its receipt in writing (for example by return electronic mail), his contention as to not having received the notice only because it was not furnished to him by personal delivery, will not be heard.
