Where in the Cordova Franchise Agreement can I find the definition of 'Renewal Notice'?

Based on the 2025 Cordova Franchise Disclosure Document excerpts provided, a specific definition of 'Renewal Notice' within the Cordova Franchise Agreement is not available. However, the excerpts do refer to 'notice of nonrenewal' in the context of Minnesota law, stating that franchisees in Minnesota must be given 180 days' notice of nonrenewal, except in certain specified cases. This suggests that the Franchise Agreement likely contains provisions related to renewal and non-renewal, including stipulations about notices.

While the term 'Renewal Notice' itself isn't explicitly defined in the provided excerpts, the document does highlight the importance of adhering to state-specific franchise laws regarding non-renewal. For example, the Minnesota Franchise Agreement Amendment ensures that franchisees retain their rights under the Minnesota Franchise Act, which includes certain termination and non-renewal rights. Similarly, amendments for New York, Maryland, and North Dakota franchisees address specific legal protections related to franchise agreements.

Given the absence of a direct definition for 'Renewal Notice' in the excerpts, it is recommended that prospective Cordova franchisees carefully review Article 15.B of the Franchise Agreement, which is referenced in the context of 'Conditions for Renewal'. Additionally, franchisees should consult with a legal professional to fully understand their rights and obligations regarding franchise renewal, particularly in light of state-specific regulations. It would be prudent to ask Cordova for clarification on what constitutes a 'Renewal Notice' and what the specific requirements are for providing such notice.
