enforceable against the other party
Explanation:
OR capable of being invoked against the other party

What your excerpt is saying, Abigail, is that failure to give 15 days' notice of a change of address means that if the other party continues to send notifications - or indeed cheques - to the old address, you cannot hold them liable for not using the new address i.e. the change is not enforceable.

This is also the translation used by a prominent law firm in Lisbon for which I sometimes do work.
