THE RECEIPT IS A SEPARATE DOCUMENT ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT G (2 COPIES) OF THIS DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT BY YOU.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the receipt acknowledging that you received the FDD is a separate document attached as Exhibit G. The FDD states that there are two copies of this receipt. This implies that Exit requires a signed receipt to confirm that prospective franchisees have received and acknowledged the FDD.
The purpose of requiring a receipt is to ensure that franchisees have had the opportunity to review the FDD and make an informed decision about investing in the Exit franchise. This is a standard practice in franchising and is designed to protect both the franchisor and the franchisee.
Since the excerpt explicitly mentions the receipt's existence as a separate document (Exhibit G) and provides two copies, it strongly suggests that Exit always requires this acknowledgement. The document does not mention any circumstances where the receipt is not needed.
