What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 All States M.E.D. Franchise Disclosure Document, the guarantor personally and unconditionally guarantees to All States M.E.D. that the franchisee will punctually pay and perform every undertaking, agreement, and covenant within the Franchise Agreement for the agreement's term and any extensions. This obligation extends to the franchisee's monetary obligations and requirements to take or avoid specific actions, as outlined in Sections 6, 7, and 17 of the agreement. The guarantor is directly bound by any breach of the agreement by the franchisee.
The guarantor also consents to joint and several liability, meaning All States M.E.D. can seek payment or performance directly from the guarantor if the franchisee fails to fulfill their obligations. This liability is not contingent upon All States M.E.D. first pursuing remedies against the franchisee. The guarantor's obligations remain even if All States M.E.D. grants extensions or indulgences to the franchisee.
Furthermore, the guaranty represents the entire agreement between the parties, superseding any prior agreements. The guaranty is binding on the guarantor's heirs and estate, meaning that the guarantor's obligations continue even after their death for any obligations created or arising after the guarantor's death. The agreement is governed by the internal laws of All States M.E.D.'s state of formation.
