What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a lawsuit is filed against you or one of your employees, you must notify Anago in writing within 5 days of the start of the action, suit, countersuit, or other proceeding.
This requirement ensures that Anago is promptly informed of any legal issues that could affect the franchise or the Anago system. It allows Anago to take necessary steps to protect its interests, such as providing support or guidance to the franchisee, or preparing for potential legal action. The franchisee must also provide Anago with any information it requests about the progress and outcome of the events within 5 days of the request.
Failure to notify Anago within the specified timeframe could have consequences, potentially leading to a breach of the franchise agreement. Therefore, it is crucial for franchisees to maintain open communication with Anago and promptly report any legal issues that arise. This notification requirement is a standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to be aware of any legal issues that could impact their brand and system.
