How are notices given under the Beverly Anns Cookie agreement?

According to the 2025 Beverly Anns Cookie Franchise Disclosure Document, any notices given under the agreement must be in writing. The notice is considered given on the date of delivery or transmission if delivered by hand, sent via U.S. certified mail with return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or transmitted via telegram or telefax. The notice must be sent to the recipient's address or telefax number as it appears on the sending party's records.

This requirement ensures that all official communications between Beverly Anns Cookie and its franchisees are documented and can be verified. Using certified mail with return receipt provides proof that the notice was sent and received, which can be important in legal or contractual situations. Allowing delivery by hand, telegram, or telefax offers flexibility for time-sensitive communications, provided there is a record of transmission or receipt.

It is important for prospective Beverly Anns Cookie franchisees to maintain accurate contact information with the franchisor and to understand the specific methods of notice outlined in the franchise agreement. Failure to adhere to these notice provisions could result in a franchisee missing important deadlines or updates, potentially leading to breaches of contract or other negative consequences.
