What is the timeframe for a notice to be considered 'given' when delivered personally to Counselor Realty?

According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a notice can be delivered to Counselor Realty at their office or the address shown in the Franchise Application. The document also states that notice may be given by facsimile, email, messenger, or overnight express. However, the FDD does not specify the timeframe in which a notice is considered 'given' when delivered personally.

Because the FDD lacks specific details on when personal notice is deemed 'given', prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Counselor Realty regarding their policy on personal delivery of notices. Understanding the exact moment a notice is officially received is crucial, as it can trigger deadlines or obligations outlined in the franchise agreement.

In the absence of explicit terms, it is generally advisable to obtain a written acknowledgment of receipt when delivering a notice in person. This could be in the form of a signed and dated receipt from a Counselor Realty representative, which serves as proof that the notice was indeed delivered and received on a specific date. This practice can help avoid potential disputes over whether a notice was properly given and when the corresponding timeframe began.
