What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pearce Bespoke's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notices required under the franchise agreement must be in writing and sent to Pearce Bespoke's corporate headquarters or to the franchisee's last known address. If the notice is personally delivered, it is considered given on the date it is delivered.
This means that if a franchisee needs to officially communicate something to Pearce Bespoke, such as a change of address or a request, delivering the written notice in person ensures that the notification is immediately considered 'given' from a legal standpoint. This eliminates any delays associated with mail or overnight delivery services.
Other methods of delivering a notice include sending it via certified U.S. mail, in which case it is deemed given three business days after sending, using a recognized overnight delivery service that requires a written receipt, in which case it is deemed given one business day after sending, or sending it electronically, in which case it is deemed given on the date delivered to the authorized email address. It is important for a Pearce Bespoke franchisee to understand these requirements to ensure proper communication and avoid any potential contractual issues.
