When are notices deemed received when sent by registered mail to Body20?

According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, official notices are considered received upon attempted delivery when sent via registered or certified mail, or through an overnight delivery service. This stipulation applies to all formal communications between Body20 and its franchisees, ensuring a clear and consistent standard for establishing when a notice is officially recognized as delivered.

This clause is important for franchisees because it sets the standard for when Body20 considers that you have received official communication. For example, if Body20 sends a notice of default via registered mail, the date of attempted delivery, not the date you actually read the notice, may be the start of a cure period. It is the franchisee's responsibility to monitor for such attempted deliveries.

This type of notification clause is standard in franchise agreements. Franchisees should understand that 'attempted delivery' means that even if the franchisee is not there to physically receive the mail, the notice is still considered to be received on that date. This places the onus on the franchisee to ensure they are available to receive important communications or have a system in place to retrieve them promptly.
