variable $config_facontact_address is not set,

to avoid this error use if(isset($config_facontact_address))

The reason why it's undefined is because it hasn't been set in the controller file first.

Opencart uses the MVC architecture, varibles are defined in the Controller, then used within the Template / View files. For this reason, it will always evaluate false using isset()

The code missing from the controller file (located: catalog/controller/common/footer.php) would be:

    $this->data['config_facontact_address'] = $this->config->get('config_facontact_address');

If your not comfortable editing the controller, then you can replace your problem code with this:

    <?php if ($this->config->get('config_facontact_address')) { ?> 
    <div class="address"><?php echo $this->config->get('config_facontact_address'); ?></div>
    <?php } ?>
