What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when notice is required under the terms of the franchise agreement, it must be in writing. The written notice can be sent by registered or certified mail to the franchisee's agency address and to All Team's office. Alternatively, the notice can be delivered in person. The address for notification can be changed as designated in accordance with the franchise agreement.
Receipt of notice is considered to be made three days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail. If the notice is personally delivered, receipt is deemed to occur upon personal delivery, whichever occurs first.
This clause ensures that both All Team and the franchisee have a clear and documented method for sending and receiving important notices related to the franchise agreement. Using registered or certified mail provides proof of mailing and attempted delivery, while personal delivery offers immediate confirmation of receipt. Franchisees should keep records of all notices sent and received, regardless of the delivery method, to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
