Count against the earlier relevant commitment

Michigan section 445.1508 requires the disclosure statement, prescribed Michigan notice and proposed agreements at least ten business days before the earlier binding agreement or consideration—payment or other relevant value.

The federal fourteen-calendar-day requirement is separate. Include every proposed agreement and state page, establish the legally relevant delivery facts and compare both applicable periods with their triggers. A later main signing does not automatically fix an earlier deposit.

Near a holiday, calendar days and legally counted business days may produce different results. This note supplies neither holiday rules nor an automatic legal delivery date; those inputs must be resolved before using the proposed commitment date.

A receipt must identify the package actually delivered

Use the actual recipient, document version, delivery method and delivery/receipt facts. If a Michigan page or agreement version is missing, or a later agreement changed, that uncertainty remains; the worksheet cannot determine the legal effect of an amendment or negotiation.

The annual Notice of Intent is a different seller-level duty, explained in the Michigan notice guide.

Scope

  • This is a limited timing explanation, not a determination of legal delivery, holiday counting, agreement-change effects or exemptions. Annual filing, advertising and relationship rules are separate.

Next step

Resolve missing package, delivery and holiday inputs before relying on either calculation to schedule a deposit or signature.

The source records distinguish access dates from substantive review dates. Updating an explanation does not itself recheck the law.
