Anago Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If You are in default We may, at Our option, terminate all rights granted to You under this Agreement effective upon delivery of notice to you, following an opportunity to cure the default, as follows: (a) if a serious or imminent threat or danger to public health or safety results from the construction, maintenance or operation of the Anago Unit Franchise and the threat or danger remains uncorrected for 5 days after Your receipt of written notice from Us or a governmental authority. If a cure cannot be reasonably completed in this time, then all reasonable steps to cure must begin within this time, but a cure must be completed promptly within 30 days after receipt of written notice; (b) You violate any health, safety, or sanitation law, ordinance, or regulation and do not correct the failure or refuse to do so within 3 days after written notice from Us or a governmental authority. If a cure cannot be reasonably completed in this time, then all reasonable steps to cure must begin within this time, but a cure must be completed within 30 days after receipt of written notice; and (c) except as otherwise provided above, You have 30 days after delivery from Us of a written Notice of Default specifying the nature of the default to remedy any default other than as stated above, and provide evidence of cure satisfactory to Us.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee typically has 30 days to remedy a default after receiving a written notice. However, this 30-day cure period does not apply to all defaults.
Specifically, if the default involves a serious threat to public health or safety, the franchisee has only 5 days to correct the issue after receiving written notice. If the problem cannot be fully resolved in 5 days, the franchisee must begin taking reasonable steps to correct it within that time and complete the cure within 30 days. Similarly, if a franchisee violates any health, safety, or sanitation laws, they have 3 days to correct the failure after written notice. Again, if a complete cure cannot be reasonably achieved in 3 days, the franchisee must start taking corrective actions within that time and finish within 30 days.
It is important for prospective Anago franchisees to understand these different cure periods, as failure to remedy a default within the specified timeframe can result in the termination of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should also be aware that applicable law may require a longer cure period than what is specified in the franchise agreement.
