What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Apricot Lane's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the signature lines for a franchisee who is a natural person (not a corporation) include the franchisee's name, a signature line, and a date. There are two signature lines for the franchisee. For franchisees not considered a natural person, there is a signature line for the franchisee, a line for 'By:', and a line 'As its:'.
This indicates that the agreement is structured to accommodate both individual franchisees and those operating under a corporate entity. The inclusion of 'By:' and 'As its:' lines for non-natural persons suggests that a representative of the corporation would sign on behalf of the company, indicating their role or title within the organization.
It is important to note that this information is extracted from a table outlining the governing law and signature requirements within a release document, and may not represent the entirety of the signature requirements for the overall franchise agreement. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the entire franchise agreement and all associated exhibits to fully understand all signature requirements and legal obligations.
