What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, signatures obtained via facsimile are considered valid and binding. Specifically, the agreement can be executed in any number of counterparts, each considered an original, forming one complete agreement.
This means that a franchisee does not necessarily need to sign a physical document. A signature transmitted via fax is legally equivalent to an original signature for the purposes of the Camp Margaritaville franchise agreement. This is a fairly standard practice in modern franchising, allowing for quicker and more efficient agreement execution.
Camp Margaritaville also allows for the agreement to be delivered by either party by facsimile or email and, if so executed and delivered, shall be legally valid and binding on the Party executing in such manner.
