According to the 2024 Chocolate Fish Coffee FDD, the detachable documents acknowledging receipt of the disclosure document are located at the end of the document. Specifically, Item 23 states that these receipts are attached as the last two pages of the disclosure document.

This is a standard practice in franchising, ensuring that the franchisor has proof that the prospective franchisee received the FDD within the legally mandated timeframe. These receipts serve as an acknowledgment that the franchisee has been provided with the necessary information to make an informed decision.

As a prospective franchisee, it is important to carefully review the entire disclosure document, including all exhibits and attachments, before signing the receipt. By signing and returning the receipt, you are confirming that you have received the document, but you are not waiving any rights you may have under franchise laws.
