What is the recommendation after clicking the 'I Accept' button for Beverly Anns Cookie franchisees regarding the Electronic Signature Agreement with Eagle Financial Services, Inc.?

According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after a franchisee clicks the "I Accept" button on the Electronic Signature Agreement with Eagle Financial Services, Inc., it is recommended that they print a copy of the agreement for future reference. This agreement allows the franchisee to sign documents electronically, agreeing that their electronic signature is legally binding, similar to a manual signature.

The Electronic Signature Agreement also covers the franchisee's consent to receive electronic communications from Eagle Financial Services, Inc., including notices, disclosures, statements, data, records, and loan documents. The franchisee acknowledges that they can retain these electronic communications by printing or downloading them. This agreement ensures that electronic communications are considered reasonable and proper notice under the law.

While electronic delivery is the default, franchisees have the option to request paper versions of these communications by contacting Eagle Financial Services, Inc. directly. They also have the right to withdraw their consent to receive electronic communications at any time, although doing so may result in restricted or terminated access to electronic services from Eagle Financial Services, Inc. The agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, where it is deemed to be executed.
