What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a guarantor is personally obligated for the performance of the subfranchisor. As stated in the agreement, the guarantor provides a personal, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee to the franchisor for the subfranchisor's obligations. This includes ensuring the accuracy and completeness of exhibits attached to the Franchise Agreement.

The guarantor is bound by all provisions within the Franchise Agreement and any Anago Agreements as if they were the subfranchisor. This obligation extends to the prompt payment and fulfillment of all debts, liabilities, and responsibilities of the subfranchisor to Anago. The guarantor also agrees not to divert assets to avoid debts covered by the guaranty.

The guarantor also waives certain rights, including the right to require Anago to first bring action against the subfranchisor before pursuing the guarantor. This means Anago can seek recourse directly from the guarantor without initially targeting the subfranchisor. The guarantor also waives rights to notices regarding acceptance of the guaranty, demands for payment, or instances of nonperformance by the subfranchisor.
