According to the Del Taco franchise agreement, can it be executed in counterparts?

According to the 2025 Del Taco Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can be executed in counterparts. This means that the agreement does not require all parties to sign the same physical document. Instead, each party can sign a separate copy, and these copies together constitute a fully executed agreement. This practice is common and simplifies the signing process, especially when the parties are geographically separated. It allows for efficient processing and finalizing of the agreement, as each party can sign and return their respective copy without waiting for others.
