What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a required payment or report is considered delinquent if All County does not actually receive it during regular business hours on the date it is due. Alternatively, if the payment or report is sent by mail, it will be considered delinquent if it is not postmarked by postal authorities at least two days prior to the due date. This policy applies to all payments and reports required by the Franchise Agreement or the Operations Manual.
This means that All County franchisees must ensure that all payments and reports are received by the franchisor on time to avoid being considered delinquent. Franchisees should factor in potential mail delays or processing times when submitting payments or reports. Using electronic payment methods or commercial courier services with delivery confirmation may be a safer option to ensure timely delivery.
It is important for prospective All County franchisees to understand these requirements and plan accordingly to maintain a good standing with the franchisor. Delinquent payments or reports could potentially lead to penalties or even termination of the franchise agreement, so franchisees must prioritize timely submissions.
