What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the obligation of the Guarantor is detailed within the Guarantee, Postponement and Covenants Agreement. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? requires a guarantor to sign this agreement to induce them to enter into a Franchise Agreement with the Franchisee. The guarantor is typically a shareholder, director, officer, member, or partner of the franchisee, who benefits from the franchise agreement.

The guarantor essentially promises that the statements made in the agreement's introductory sections are accurate. The guarantor's obligations extend throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement, including any extensions or renewals, and continue until the franchisee has fully performed all terms, covenants, and conditions of all agreements and dealings with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, or until the franchisor discharges these obligations.

The spousal consent portion of the agreement indicates that the Guarantee is an obligation binding upon the separate property assets and income of the guarantor's spouse and is also binding upon the community property of their marital community. If the guarantor defaults under the Guarantee, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? may collect from the community property owned by the guarantor and their spouse, including the income and assets of the marital community. This underscores the comprehensive nature of the guarantee and its potential impact on the guarantor's personal and marital assets.
