How can the Angry Chickz Addendum be executed, and what constitutes a valid original agreement?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the Development Agreement for Rhode Island can be executed in multiple counterparts. Each counterpart, once executed and delivered, is considered an original. All the counterparts together form one single agreement. Delivery of a signed copy of the addendum, including through electronic transmission such as an electronic signature platform or a scanned PDF, is considered as effective as delivering a manually signed copy.

This means that Angry Chickz offers flexibility in finalizing the agreement, allowing for both traditional and modern methods of signing. A franchisee in Rhode Island doesn't need to physically meet to sign the documents; they can use electronic signatures or scanned documents, which speeds up the process.

It is important to note that this specific execution method applies to the Rhode Island addendum. Other addenda, such as those for Virginia, California, Maryland, and Illinois, do not explicitly mention execution via counterparts or electronic transmission in the provided excerpts. Therefore, the method of execution may vary depending on the specific addendum and the state involved. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the specific addendum applicable to their state and consult with Angry Chickz to confirm the acceptable methods of execution.
