What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notice required under the terms of the franchise agreement must be in writing. The franchisee should send the notice via registered or certified mail, or through personal delivery. The notice should be sent to the franchisee's agency address and to All Team's office.
The FDD specifies that either party can designate a different address for notices, as long as it's done in accordance with the notice provision itself. This means that if All Team changes its office address, it must notify franchisees using the same formal written notice procedure. Similarly, if a franchisee moves their agency, they must provide written notice to All Team.
The FDD also clarifies when receipt of a notice is considered to have occurred. Receipt is deemed to have been made three days after mailing, or upon personal delivery, whichever happens first. This is important for meeting deadlines or responding to notices within a specific timeframe, as the date of receipt triggers the start of any countdown.
