What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Personal Guaranty is directly tied to the Franchise Agreement. As an inducement for Anago to enter into the Franchise Agreement, the guarantor agrees to ensure the subfranchisee's obligations are met. This means the guarantor is personally bound by the terms of the Franchise Agreement and any other Anago Agreements, as if they were the subfranchisee. The guarantor also agrees not to divert assets to avoid debts covered by the guaranty.
The guarantor provides a continuing and unlimited guarantee of the subfranchisee's obligations under the Anago Agreements. This includes the payment of all debts, liabilities, and obligations, as well as the costs of collection and enforcement, including attorney's fees. The guarantor also agrees to make any payment or performance required under the Franchise Agreement if the subfranchisee fails to do so. This obligation remains in effect even if the Franchise Agreement is extended, modified, or amended, and the guarantor waives notice of such changes.
The Personal Guaranty includes several waivers by the guarantor, such as waiving acceptance and notice of acceptance of the guaranty, notice of demand for payment, and any right to require that an action be brought against the subfranchisee first. The guarantor also waives any defense based on irregularities in the creation of the obligations or modifications of the terms. Any debts the subfranchisee owes to the guarantor are subordinated to the full payment and performance of the obligations under the Franchise Agreement.
Furthermore, the guarantor consents to the jurisdiction of the state or federal court closest to Anago's principal place of business (currently Pompano Beach, Florida) for any actions related to the Guaranty. The guarantor also agrees to submit all disputes arising under the Anago Agreements to arbitration, as outlined in the Franchise Agreement. The guarantor waives the right to a jury trial for any claims related to the Guaranty or the Anago Agreements. The Personal Guaranty is governed by Florida law.
