What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the company has the right to revoke any waiver it grants to a franchisee. This includes waivers related to the franchisee's obligations under the franchise agreement.

Specifically, Angry Chickz will consider written requests from franchisees for a waiver of any obligation. However, Angry Chickz is not required to act uniformly regarding waiver requests, as each request is considered individually.

Any waiver granted by Angry Chickz is subject to continuing review and can be revoked at any time, for any reason, with 10 days' prior written notice to the franchisee. This clause provides Angry Chickz with considerable flexibility in enforcing the franchise agreement and allows them to respond to changing circumstances or perceived risks. It also means that a franchisee cannot rely on a previously granted waiver as a guarantee of future leniency.
