What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement's effectiveness is tied to the delivery of notices. Specifically, regarding the assignment of telephone numbers, Beyond Juicery Eatery will notify the franchisee of its acceptance of the assignment. This notice can be delivered personally or sent via first-class, certified, or registered mail with postage prepaid, deposited in a U.S. Postal Service depository.
The FDD states that notices to the franchisee will be sent to the address indicated in the agreement or any subsequent address Beyond Juicery Eatery is notified of in writing. The critical point is that the notice becomes effective on the date it is sent by Beyond Juicery Eatery. This means that certain aspects of the agreement, such as the assignment of telephone numbers, become active as soon as Beyond Juicery Eatery sends the notification.
For notices delivered by mail, the FDD specifies that they are considered delivered and received two days after mailing. Therefore, while the agreement may be effective from the date Beyond Juicery Eatery sends the notice, certain actions or obligations tied to the receipt of that notice will be calculated from two days after the mailing date. This clause ensures a clear timeline for actions that require the franchisee's awareness of the notice, such as cooperating with Beyond Juicery Eatery to transfer telephone numbers.
