Does Amorino have the ability to extend any of the renewal deadlines?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino has the authority to extend any deadlines related to franchise renewal. Specifically, Amorino can extend deadlines set forth in Section 2.B or Section 2.0 of the franchise agreement at its sole discretion.

This provision grants Amorino flexibility in managing the renewal process. However, the document also states that Amorino's failure to strictly comply with the time periods does not waive any of Amorino's rights related to the extension. This means that even if Amorino misses a deadline, it does not lose its right to enforce other renewal requirements.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause indicates that renewal timelines are not set in stone and can be subject to change at Amorino's discretion. While this could be beneficial in some situations, it also introduces uncertainty into the renewal process. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Amorino regarding renewal timelines and expectations to ensure a smooth renewal process.
