What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Azal Coffee Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) includes a receipt that acknowledges the franchisee has received certain documents. Item A on this receipt is a 'List of State Administrators and List of Agents for Service of Process.'
However, the excerpt from Item 23 does not specify the actual agent for service of process in Michigan. This list would typically contain the name and address of the individual or entity authorized to accept legal documents on behalf of Azal Coffee in that state.
A prospective Azal Coffee franchisee should carefully review Item A of the FDD's receipts to identify the designated agent for service of process in Michigan. If this information is not present or clear, they should directly ask the franchisor for clarification to ensure they understand how legal notices can be properly served.
