How must notices be delivered to the franchisee under the Chocolate Fish Coffee franchise agreement?

According to the 2024 Chocolate Fish Coffee Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor can provide amendments to the manual, binding notices of changes to system standards, and notices of default via electronic mail or other electronic communication.

This means that Chocolate Fish Coffee franchisees should regularly check their email for important updates and notices from the franchisor. Failing to do so could result in missing critical information that could impact their franchise operations or even lead to a default of the franchise agreement.

While electronic communication is permitted for certain notices, the FDD does not specify the required method for all other types of notices. It is important for prospective franchisees to clarify with Chocolate Fish Coffee what other methods of communication may be used for official notices to ensure they are aware of all formal communication channels.
