What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notice, approval, agreement, or other communication required or permitted under the agreement is considered duly given and delivered if sent by overnight express or registered or certified mail with return receipt requested. In this case, the notice is deemed to have been given on the date of receipt of such mail.
This means that for any official communication related to the franchise agreement, Even Hotels will consider the notice as officially received when the overnight express or registered/certified mail is actually received and signed for, as evidenced by the return receipt. This is a standard practice to ensure there is a documented confirmation of receipt for important legal and contractual notices.
For a prospective Even Hotels franchisee, this clause is important because it sets the standard for how official communications are handled. It is crucial to use overnight express or registered/certified mail with return receipt requested when sending important notices to ensure that there is proof of delivery and that the notice is considered officially received by Even Hotels. This can affect deadlines, obligations, and legal rights under the franchise agreement.
