What are the instructions for handling the two copies of the Boulder Designs disclosure document receipt?

According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, two copies of the receipt of the disclosure document are included as Exhibit K. The FDD instructs the prospective franchisee to return one copy to Boulder Designs and retain the other copy for their own records. The FDD also provides instructions for returning the signed receipt, which can be done either by mailing it to Boulder Designs Franchising, LLC at 2324 N. Robinson Drive, Waco, Texas 76706, or by e-mailing it to info@boulderdesigns.net.

This receipt serves as an acknowledgment that the franchisee received the FDD, which is a crucial step in the franchise sales process. Franchise laws mandate that franchisors provide the FDD to potential franchisees within a specific timeframe before any binding agreements are signed or payments are made. For Boulder Designs, this timeframe is generally 14 calendar days, but may vary based on state laws such as in Michigan and New York.

By returning one copy of the receipt to Boulder Designs, the franchisee confirms they have received the document, which helps Boulder Designs comply with legal requirements. Keeping the other copy ensures the franchisee has proof of receipt for their own records. This process protects both parties by documenting that the FDD was provided in a timely manner, allowing the franchisee adequate time to review the opportunity before making a commitment.
