Colorado contract deadline calculator
Each deadline is a date or number of days the parties write into the Dates and Deadlines table. A blank, 'N/A' or 'Deleted' deadline doesn't apply. When counting days, exclude the first day and include the last. A day ends at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time unless a Time of Day Deadline is written in. The parties check whether a deadline on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday 'Will' or 'Will Not' extend to the next day that isn't one. If neither box is checked, it does NOT extend. ClosingCal assumes 'Will Not', so if your contract checks 'Will', move any weekend or holiday dates forward. Source
