Where in the All County agreement is the effective date of the agreement specified?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of "Effective Date" is specified within the agreement. The document states that the effective date is the date the agreement becomes effective, and this date is designated on the Signature Page of the Franchise Agreement.

This means that the start date of the franchise agreement, which dictates when the franchisee's rights and obligations begin, is formally recorded on the signature page. This is a standard practice in franchising, ensuring clarity and legal enforceability regarding the agreement's commencement.

Prospective All County franchisees should pay close attention to the date entered on the signature page, as it marks the official beginning of their franchise term and all associated contractual obligations. This date is crucial for calculating the term of the agreement, which, as stated in section 1.2, commences on the Effective Date and expires on the tenth anniversary of that date, unless terminated earlier.
