What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the agents for service of process in states that require Bonchon to name a state agency as an agent for service are listed in Exhibit Q of the FDD. This means that if a franchisee needs to legally serve Bonchon with a lawsuit or other legal notice in a state that mandates a specific agent, the franchisee can find the relevant contact information in Exhibit Q.

It is common practice for franchise agreements to designate an agent for service of process, ensuring there is a clear and legally recognized point of contact for legal notices. This arrangement simplifies the process of serving legal documents, as it avoids ambiguity about who is authorized to receive such notices on behalf of the company.

Prospective franchisees should review Exhibit Q carefully to understand who the designated agents are in relevant states. If a state is not listed, it may mean that Bonchon does not need to designate a specific state agency in that state, or that the franchisee must serve Bonchon's main business address. Franchisees should consult with a legal professional to ensure they understand the proper procedures for serving legal documents in their state.
