Besides manual delivery, what other methods are acceptable for delivering an executed counterpart of the Chicken Guy California Addendum signature page?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the California Addendum, like other addenda, can be executed in multiple counterparts. Each executed counterpart is considered an original, and all counterparts together form one agreement. Besides manual delivery, Chicken Guy will accept delivery of an executed signature page via facsimile or any other electronic transmission, including PDF. These methods are considered as effective as a manually executed counterpart.

This means a prospective Chicken Guy franchisee in California doesn't necessarily need to physically mail or hand-deliver the signed addendum. They can use fax or scan and email the signature page as a PDF, which simplifies and speeds up the process of finalizing the franchise agreement. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, as it accommodates franchisees who may be located at a distance or prefer digital document handling.

It's important for the franchisee to ensure that the facsimile or electronic transmission is clear and legible, so that all signatures and other details are accurately captured. Franchisees should also retain a copy of the transmitted document and confirmation of its successful delivery for their records.
