What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, both parties, including the franchisee, can change their address for receiving notices. To do so, the party must provide written notice to the other party, specifying the new address. The notice must be delivered by hand, via a commercial delivery service guaranteeing next-day delivery, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid.
This provision ensures that all official communications related to the franchise agreement are properly delivered. It is the franchisee's responsibility to keep Best Brains informed of their current address to avoid missing important notices or deadlines. Failing to do so could have legal or financial repercussions if the franchisee does not receive critical information in a timely manner.
This type of clause is standard in franchise agreements to ensure clear and documented communication between the franchisor and franchisee throughout the term of the agreement. Franchisees should carefully document all address changes and confirm receipt of the notification by Best Brains to maintain accurate records.
