Electronic service of a document that may be served by mail, express mail, overnight delivery or fax is complete when the document, or the notice of its service, is sent, and a period running after service is extended two court days, except for a notice of intention to move for new trial, a notice of intention to move to vacate judgment under section 663a, or a notice of appeal; the extension applies only absent a specific exception. A document served electronically on a court day is deemed served that day, and one served on a day that is not a court day is deemed served on the next court day.
