What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the entire agreement between Alloy and the franchisee includes the Franchise Agreement, all schedules, addenda, and appendices. This comprehensive collection of documents constitutes the complete understanding between both parties, superseding any prior negotiations, representations, or agreements. However, the FDD clarifies that this does not disclaim any representations made by Alloy in the Franchise Disclosure Document itself.
For franchisees entering into an Area Development Agreement, that agreement is also part of the entire agreement. Furthermore, addenda specific to certain states, such as California, Washington, and Virginia, are incorporated into the agreement to comply with local regulations. These addenda may modify specific sections of the Franchise Agreement or Area Development Agreement to align with state laws, such as those concerning the deferral of initial franchise fees until pre-opening obligations are met, as required by Virginia.
This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the franchise relationship are documented and legally binding. Prospective franchisees should carefully review all these documents to fully understand their rights and obligations. It is also important to note that the Franchise Agreement may be modified by Alloy from time to time, and the then-current form of the agreement will be the one executed for any proposed Facility. Each Franchise Agreement will be construed independently of the Area Development Agreement, if applicable, with its continued existence determined by its own terms and conditions.
