What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum to the Development Agreement specifies how documents can be delivered electronically. Specifically, the addendum states that delivering a signed copy of the signature page via electronic transmission is considered as effective as a manual delivery. This includes using an electronic signature platform or sending a scanned PDF document.
For a prospective Angry Chickz developer, this means that when executing the Development Agreement or related addenda, you can use electronic methods for signing and delivering documents. This can save time and resources compared to traditional mail or in-person delivery. It's important to ensure that the electronic transmission method used is reliable and produces a clear, legible copy of the signed document.
This clause appears to be related to Rhode Island specifically, so it is important to note that this electronic delivery method may only apply to developers in Rhode Island. It is important to confirm with Angry Chickz whether this method is acceptable in other states as well.
