What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Releasor breaches any promises, covenants, or undertakings made in the release agreement through any act or omission, the Releasor must indemnify Amorino. This indemnification covers all costs and expenses incurred by Amorino as a result of the Releasor's breach, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
In simpler terms, if a franchisee (the Releasor) violates the terms of the release agreement, they are responsible for covering all the expenses Amorino incurs to address the breach. This includes any legal costs, such as attorney fees, that Amorino has to pay.
This clause ensures that Amorino is protected financially if a franchisee violates the release agreement. It also serves as a deterrent to franchisees, discouraging them from breaching the agreement, as they would be responsible for all associated costs and expenses.
