Under the Alloy Franchise Agreement, what is the required method for sending a notice of termination?

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a landlord needs to send a notice to Alloy, it must be in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Alloy's specified address. Alloy can change its address for receiving notices by providing the landlord with written notice of the new address. The landlord must also notify both the tenant (franchisee) and Alloy of any changes to the landlord's mailing address.

This requirement ensures that Alloy receives important communications from the landlord in a verifiable manner. Registered or certified mail provides proof of mailing and receipt, reducing the risk of disputes over whether a notice was properly delivered. This is a standard practice in franchise agreements to maintain clear communication channels between all parties involved, including the franchisor, franchisee, and landlord.

For a prospective Alloy franchisee, this means understanding that any official notices to Alloy related to the lease must follow this specific procedure. Failing to use registered or certified mail could result in the notice not being considered validly delivered, potentially leading to complications or disputes. It is also important for the franchisee to stay informed of any changes to Alloy's official address for notices, as it is the landlord's responsibility to communicate these changes.
