| Provision | Section in Area Development Agreement | Summary

Source: Item 17 — RENEWAL, TERMINATIONS, TRANSFER, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION (FDD pages 39–48)

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms for renewal or extension of the franchise agreement are not applicable within the context of the Area Development Agreement. Item 17 of the FDD addresses renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution, but specifically notes that the section concerning the renewal or extension of the term is "Not applicable" for the Area Development Agreement.

This suggests that the opportunity to renew is tied to the Franchise Agreement itself, rather than the broader Area Development Agreement. For prospective franchisees, this means that the standards and qualifications for renewal would be outlined in the Franchise Agreement, which is separate from the Area Development Agreement.

Therefore, franchisees should carefully review the Franchise Agreement to understand the specific conditions they must meet to qualify for renewal. These conditions may include compliance with brand standards, satisfactory operational performance, and adherence to the franchise agreement terms. Franchisees should seek clarification from Angry Chickz regarding the renewal terms within the Franchise Agreement to fully understand their obligations.
