Everything you need to know.
Yes. Zignature's FDD acknowledgement template creates a timestamped receipt record — showing exactly when the franchisee received the FDD. This creates irrefutable evidence that the 14-day waiting period was observed before franchise agreement signing.
Yes. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA, electronically signed franchise agreements are legally binding. The FTC has confirmed that e-signatures satisfy the FDD acknowledgement and agreement execution requirements.
Configure the franchise agreement template to only become available for signing 14 days after the FDD acknowledgement is signed. Zignature's conditional workflows enforce this gate — preventing inadvertent FTC violations.
Yes. Zignature's bulk send dispatches FDD acknowledgements to multiple prospects simultaneously, with individual completion tracking per prospect. Each prospect's 14-day clock runs from their individual FDD receipt timestamp.
Configure expiry dates on franchise agreements. Zignature's automated renewal workflow sends renewal documents to franchisees at configurable intervals before expiry — with network-level tracking for the franchisor.
Zignature supports state-specific document templates — create separate FDD acknowledgements for states with different disclosure requirements (California, Maryland, Minnesota, etc.). Auto-select the correct template based on franchisee state.
