What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, a specific rider to the 7 Brew Franchise Agreement for use in Hawaii states that paragraphs (7) through (14) of Section 2 of the Franchise Agreement are deleted. This indicates that certain provisions within Section 2 of the standard agreement do not apply to franchisees operating in Hawaii.
Similarly, for franchisees in Maryland, paragraphs (7) through (14) of Section 2 of the 7 Brew Franchise Agreement are also deleted by a rider. Additionally, the Maryland rider includes a clause ensuring that any representations requiring the franchisee to release, estop, or waive liability do not act as a release, estoppel, or waiver of liability under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law.
For a prospective 7 Brew franchisee, this means that the standard franchise agreement can be modified by state-specific riders, altering the obligations and rights outlined in the base agreement. It is crucial to carefully review any state-specific riders to understand how they amend the original franchise agreement, as these changes can significantly impact the franchisee's operation and legal standing.
