What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino and its affiliates have the right to suspend performance of their obligations to a franchisee if the franchisee breaches any obligation under the Franchise Agreement or any agreement with Amorino's affiliates. This includes the right to suspend the sale or supply of any services, products, or ingredients for which Amorino or its affiliates are an approved supplier, as well as suspending the franchisee's listing or webpage on Amorino's website. This suspension remains in effect until the franchisee corrects the breach.
In practical terms, this means that if an Amorino franchisee fails to meet their contractual obligations, such as payment schedules, adherence to operational standards, or compliance with supplier agreements, Amorino can halt essential services and supplies. This could severely impact the franchisee's ability to operate the business, as they may be unable to obtain necessary ingredients or benefit from Amorino's online presence.
This provision highlights the importance of franchisees maintaining strict compliance with all agreements. Failure to do so not only risks termination of the franchise agreement but also the potential disruption of essential services needed to run the business. Prospective franchisees should carefully review all obligations outlined in the Franchise Agreement and related documents to fully understand the scope of their responsibilities and the potential consequences of non-compliance.
Additionally, Amorino may require the store to be closed during any cure period relating to a default based on public health and safety concerns, in its sole discretion, either in addition to or in lieu of, termination of the Franchise Agreement.
