What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crowne Plaza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notices that are permitted or required by the Equipment Lease must be in writing. These written notices must be sent to the respective addresses of the parties involved, either by certified mail or hand delivery.
This requirement ensures that all important communications regarding the lease are documented and can be verified as having been sent and received. Using certified mail provides a receipt and confirmation of delivery, while hand delivery allows for immediate confirmation.
This clause is fairly standard in franchise agreements to ensure a clear record of communication, especially concerning legal or contractual matters. Franchisees should maintain meticulous records of all notices sent and received to protect their interests and ensure compliance with the lease terms.
