What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Ella Cafe's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you've signed a Personal Guaranty, you can change your address for receiving notices. To do so, you must provide written notice of the address change to Ella Cafe. The notices and demands are sent to the addresses in the signature blocks, unless a different address is designated through written notice to Ella Cafe.
This means that if you move or prefer to receive official communication at a different location than the one initially provided, you need to inform Ella Cafe in writing. This ensures that you continue to receive important notices and updates related to your franchise agreement and any legal matters.
It is important to keep a record of the written notice you send to Ella Cafe, including the date it was sent and confirmation of receipt, if possible. This documentation can be useful in case there is ever a question about whether Ella Cafe was properly notified of your address change.
