Can Desi District amend the Manual by electronic mail?

According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District Franchise Group can amend the Manual by electronic mail or other electronic communication. This means that Desi District has the right to make changes to its confidential Brand Standards Manual and communicate these changes to franchisees electronically.

This is significant for prospective franchisees because it means they must stay informed of updates sent via email or other electronic means. Franchisees are responsible for adhering to the most current version of the Manual, and Desi District is not obligated to provide notice through traditional methods like registered mail. Therefore, franchisees need to regularly check their electronic communications to ensure they are aware of any changes to System Standards.

This practice is fairly common in franchising, as electronic communication offers a quick and efficient way to disseminate information. However, it places the onus on the franchisee to remain vigilant and responsive to electronic updates from Desi District to maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
