What is the effective date of the North Dakota Rider for Chocolate Fish Coffee?

According to the 2024 Chocolate Fish Coffee Franchise Disclosure Document, the North Dakota Rider is effective as of the "Effective Date." The rider itself amends the Franchise and Multi-Unit Development Agreement, indicating it becomes relevant when the underlying agreement takes effect.

For a prospective franchisee in North Dakota, this means the specific date the rider comes into force will coincide with the effective date of their franchise agreement with Chocolate Fish Coffee. This date is crucial because the rider modifies the original agreement, and its provisions become legally binding from that day forward.

It is important for the franchisee to confirm this date with Chocolate Fish Coffee to ensure clarity on when the amended terms, particularly those concerning restrictive covenants, arbitration, and applicable laws, are in effect. This ensures both parties are aligned on their contractual obligations from the outset.
