Does the Angry Chickz agreement require the Guarantor to obtain advice of counsel?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement does not mandate that a guarantor obtain advice of counsel. However, the guarantor must acknowledge that they have either obtained advice from counsel or have had the opportunity to do so before signing the Continuing Guaranty.

This acknowledgement is a standard legal protection for Angry Chickz. By confirming that the guarantor either sought legal advice or had the chance to do so, the guarantor cannot later claim they didn't understand the agreement's implications. This helps to ensure the enforceability of the guaranty.

For a prospective Angry Chickz franchisee, this means that if a guarantor is required for their franchise agreement (often a spouse or business partner), that guarantor should carefully review the Continuing Guaranty and ideally consult with an attorney. While not mandatory, seeking legal advice can help the guarantor fully understand their obligations and potential liabilities under the agreement.
