What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Chocolate Bash Franchise Disclosure Document, any party can designate a new address for notices. To be effective, notices must be received (or first rejected) and delivered personally, sent by registered or certified U.S. mail with return receipt requested, or sent via overnight courier. However, Chocolate Bash may use electronic mail or other electronic communication to amend the Manual, give binding notice of changes to System Standards, and deliver notices of default.
This means that as a Chocolate Bash franchisee, you must ensure that any formal notices you send to the franchisor are delivered through one of the approved methods (personal delivery, registered/certified mail, or overnight courier) to ensure they are considered officially received. It also means Chocolate Bash can communicate certain important updates and notices of default to you via email, which is a more immediate and cost-effective method.
It is important for a prospective Chocolate Bash franchisee to keep in mind that the franchisor can change the methods of communication for certain types of notices. Therefore, it is important to stay up to date with any changes to the communication methods to ensure that you are receiving all important notices from Chocolate Bash.
