How can the Addendum to the Corner Bakery Cafe Franchise Agreement be executed?

According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Corner Bakery Cafe Franchise Agreement can be executed in multiple counterparts. Each counterpart, once executed and delivered, is considered an original, and all counterparts together form one and the same agreement.

For Corner Bakery Cafe, the delivery of a signature page via electronic transmission, including PDF, is considered as effective as delivering a manually executed counterpart of the Addendum. This allows for flexibility and efficiency in finalizing the agreement, especially for franchisees who may be located at a distance from the franchisor's headquarters.

This clause ensures that all parties can sign separate copies of the same document, and each signed copy is legally binding as if it were the original. This is a common practice in franchise agreements to accommodate the logistical challenges of obtaining signatures from all parties involved. This also speeds up the process of finalizing agreements, as parties do not have to wait for a single document to be physically circulated for signatures.
