After receiving the Checkersrallys Franchise Disclosure Document, what action is required regarding the receipt acknowledgement pages?

According to the 2025 Checkersrallys Franchise Disclosure Document, the last two pages of the document are identical pages acknowledging receipt of the entire document, including all exhibits. A prospective Checkersrallys franchisee is required to sign and return one copy of the receipt acknowledgement to Checkersrallys, while keeping the other copy for their own records along with the Franchise Disclosure Document.

This requirement ensures that Checkersrallys has confirmation that the prospective franchisee received the FDD, which is a legal requirement under franchise law. This acknowledgement helps to protect Checkersrallys from potential future disputes regarding whether the franchisee was properly informed before entering into the franchise agreement.

It is standard practice in the franchise industry to require a receipt acknowledgement. Franchisees should carefully review the entire FDD and all agreements before signing the receipt, as the act of signing confirms they have received and had the opportunity to review these important documents. Failure to return the signed receipt could potentially delay or complicate the franchise approval process with Checkersrallys.
