According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement may be executed in counterparts and can be signed and delivered electronically. Specifically, the agreement can be signed and delivered via email, facsimile, or other electronic means. These electronic methods have the same legal effect as a hardcopy signed with traditional ink.

This means a prospective Ledgers franchisee does not necessarily need to sign a physical copy of the agreement. They can use electronic signature methods and deliver the signed document via email or fax, which simplifies and speeds up the agreement process. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, as it allows for efficient processing of documents, especially when parties are geographically separated.

It is important for the franchisee to ensure that the chosen method of electronic signature and delivery is reliable and secure. They should also retain a copy of the signed agreement for their records. While Ledgers permits these methods, the franchisee bears the responsibility of ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the signed documents.
