What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Chicken Guy FDD, an executed counterpart of the signature page of the addendum can be delivered via facsimile or any other electronic transmission, including PDF. This means that in addition to physically signing and delivering the document, franchisees have the option to send a copy of the signed signature page through fax or as a PDF or other electronic file.
This provision simplifies the process of finalizing the addendum, as it allows for quicker and more convenient methods of delivery compared to traditional mail or courier services. It is common practice in the franchise industry to allow for electronic or faxed signatures on documents to expedite the legal processes.
It's important for the franchisee to ensure that the facsimile or electronic transmission is clear and legible, and that they retain a copy of the transmitted document for their records. While these methods are considered as effective as manual delivery, franchisees should confirm with Chicken Guy if there are any specific requirements or preferred methods for submitting the addendum signature page.
