Notice

Information, whether actual or presumptive, and whether direct or indirect, respecting a matter of fact. Notice is either (1) actual, consisting of information actually received, or (2) constructive, consisting of facts which, by implication of law, constitute notice without regard to whether they actually impart information. Actual notice is either (a) express, consisting of direct positive knowledge of the fact in question, or (b) implied, consisting of information sufficient to put one on inquiry as to the fact in question. "Notice" is a broader term than "knowledge," which includes only express actual notice.
