What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz or its affiliates will not be held liable to the franchisee for any delays or failures in the manufacturing, delivery, or shipment of goods or products under specific circumstances.
The primary condition outlined in the FDD is the occurrence of a "Force Majeure" event. This includes events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Angry Chickz or its affiliates. Examples of such events include labor or material shortages, product shortages, conditions of supply and demand, import/export restrictions, or disruptions in supply sources.
In the event of such delays, Angry Chickz retains the right to suggest alternative products to fulfill the franchisee's order. This clause protects Angry Chickz from liability due to circumstances outside of their control, while also providing a mechanism to attempt to mitigate the impact on the franchisee's business operations.
