  • (2) are not in Default of this Agreement (on the date you give notice of renewal or on the date that the new term will commence) and no event has occurred and is continuing which by the giving of notice or the expiration of any cure period would constitute a Default under this Agreement, or any successor franchise agreement (as applicable) and have substantially complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any successor franchise agreement (as applicable) throughout the term;

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Amorino FDD, the franchise agreement's term begins on the effective date and expires on the scheduled expiration date described in the Data Sheet, unless terminated earlier. This term applies regardless of when the store opens to the public.

Amorino franchisees have the option to renew their franchise rights for two additional five-year terms, provided they meet specific conditions. These conditions include giving written notice within a specified timeframe, not being in default of the agreement, completing required training and renovations, signing a general release, and paying a renewal fee. The renewal fee is equal to 25% of the then-current initial franchise fee for each five-year renewal.

While the FDD specifies the renewal terms and general term length, it does not explicitly state the initial franchise term length for mobile outlets. To determine the initial term length, prospective Amorino franchisees should refer to the Data Sheet mentioned in the franchise agreement or directly ask the franchisor for clarification.
