According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement receipt includes a space for the effective date of the agreement. This date is represented as "202_" implying that the specific year will be filled in upon execution of the agreement.

This indicates that the receipt is not pre-printed with a specific year. Instead, the year the agreement becomes effective is to be manually entered at the time of signing. This is a common practice, as franchise agreements can be signed at different times throughout the year, and the effective date is specific to each franchisee's situation.

Prospective Itan franchisees should ensure that the effective date is accurately recorded on the receipt when signing the franchise agreement. This date is important as it marks the beginning of the franchise term and may trigger other obligations and deadlines outlined in the agreement.
