What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Rider's term becomes effective on the date that 7 Brew signs it. The Rider is annexed to and forms part of the Franchise Agreement.
The Rider's term concludes when the franchisee (or their Approved Affiliate) opens the final Traditional 7 Brew Store to be developed under the Schedule, or when the Rider is otherwise terminated. However, the Rider's term will end no later than the date inserted as the last date on the Schedule, with possible extensions as permitted.
This means that the Rider is in effect from the time 7 Brew signs it, guiding the franchisee's development obligations and store openings according to the agreed-upon Schedule. Franchisees should pay close attention to the deadlines in the Schedule, as failure to meet these obligations could lead to termination of the Rider.
