What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notice required or permitted under the franchise agreement must be in writing. Acceptable delivery methods include personal delivery, certified mail, express mail, registered mail, or overnight delivery service with postage prepaid. Notices should be addressed to the party at their respective address listed in the agreement or any other address they designate in writing.
Face Foundrie may also provide notice to the franchisee electronically via email to the address listed on Exhibit B of the agreement, provided a read receipt is requested. This method is acceptable unless the franchisee has provided written notice of a different email address.
Any notice sent using a method that provides evidence of delivery or rejected delivery is considered given on the date and time of receipt or rejected delivery. This ensures both parties have proof that the notice was sent and received, which is a common practice in franchising to avoid disputes over communication.
