Who can sign the Franchise Agreement for each All Dogs Unleashed facility besides the franchisee?

All_Dogs_Unleashed Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

THIS FRANCHISE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the Effective Date reflected in the Summary Pages (the “Effective Date”) by and between ADU FRANCHISE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, a Texas limited liability company, (“Franchisor”), and the franchisee identified in the Summary Pages (referred to in this Agreement as “you” or “Franchisee”).

I own a beneficial interest in the Franchisee and would be considered an “Owner” within the definition contained in the Franchise Agreement.

I understand that, were it not for this Personal Guaranty and Undertaking (the "Guaranty"), Franchisor would not have agreed to enter into the Franchise Agreement with the Franchisee.

I will comply with the provisions contained in Article 7 of the Franchise Agreement concerning the Franchisee's use of Franchisor's Marks and Copyrighted Works (as each term is defined in the Franchise Agreement).

I understand that, except for the license granted to the Franchisee, I have no individual right to use the Marks or Copyrighted Works, and I have no ownership interest in the Marks or Copyrighted Works.

I will comply with all of the provisions contained in Article 8 of the Franchise Agreement concerning the use of the Confidential Information.

I will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information disclosed to me.

I agree to use the Confidential Information only for the purposes authorized under the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement is made between ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company, referred to as "Franchisor," and the franchisee, also referred to as "you".

Additionally, if the franchisee is an entity rather than an individual, any individual who owns a beneficial interest in the franchisee and is considered an "Owner" may be required to sign a Personal Guaranty and Undertaking. According to the FDD, the franchisor would not enter into the Franchise Agreement without this personal guarantee. This ensures that the Owner will comply with provisions related to the use of All Dogs Unleashed's marks, copyrighted works, and confidential information.

Therefore, besides the franchisee, the franchisor (ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company) and potentially an Owner of the franchisee (if the franchisee is a business entity) would sign the Franchise Agreement or related documents like the Personal Guaranty and Undertaking.
