Can the Bojangles addendum be executed and delivered electronically, including through platforms like DocuSign or scanned PDFs?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the franchise agreement can be executed and delivered electronically. Specifically, the FDD states that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to the addendum by electronic transmission is acceptable. This includes using an electronic signature platform like DocuSign or transmitting a scanned PDF document. This applies to the Addendum to Franchise Agreement, Addendum to Bojangles Express Franchise Agreement, and Addendum to Bojangles Renewal Franchise Agreement.

This means that franchisees and Bojangles can sign the addendum without needing to physically meet or mail documents. This can expedite the signing process and reduce administrative overhead. Electronic signatures are legally binding and widely accepted in the franchise industry, making this a fairly standard practice.

It is important to note that this provision specifically addresses the delivery of a signature page by electronic transmission. Franchisees should ensure that they comply with all other requirements for executing and delivering the addendum, as outlined in the franchise agreement and addendum itself. Additionally, franchisees should verify that the electronic signature platform or method they use is acceptable to Bojangles.
