What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the parties involved in the Guaranty irrevocably accept the jurisdiction of the courts within the State of Utah, specifically in Salt Lake County, or the United States District Court for the District of Utah. They also consent to venue in Salt Lake County, Utah.
For legal proceedings, any process, notice of motion, or other application to a court or judge can be served outside the State of Utah. The acceptable methods for serving these legal documents are certified mail or personal service.
