What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guaranty, and any claims related to it, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State. Additionally, any disputes arising under or involving the Guaranty shall be submitted to arbitration as described in Section 18.11 of the Unit Franchise Agreement.
This means that the specific state law chosen will dictate how the agreement is interpreted and enforced. This is a standard practice in franchising, as it provides a clear legal framework for resolving disputes. Franchisees should be aware of the implications of the chosen state's laws, as they will govern the relationship with Anago.
It is important to note that the FDD excerpt does not specify which state's laws will govern the Guaranty, instead indicating "the state of State." This suggests that the governing law may vary depending on the location of the franchisee or the specific agreement. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Anago which state's laws will apply to their specific situation and understand the implications of those laws.
