How can the Aunt Millies Bakeries distribution agreement be amended or modified?

According to Aunt Millies Bakeries' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the distribution agreement can only be amended or modified through a written document signed by both parties. This ensures that any changes to the agreement are formally documented and agreed upon by both Aunt Millie's Bakeries and the distributor, providing clarity and legal certainty.

This requirement for a written amendment protects both the franchisee and Aunt Millies Bakeries by preventing disputes based on verbal agreements or misunderstandings. It aligns with standard franchising practices, where significant business terms are carefully documented to avoid ambiguity.

However, the FDD also notes that this clause does not disclaim any express representations made in the Franchise Disclosure Document, its exhibits, and amendments. This means that any promises or statements made by Aunt Millies Bakeries in the FDD itself still hold, even if they are not explicitly reiterated in a written amendment to the distribution agreement. Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to all disclosures in the FDD and seek clarification on any points of concern before signing the distribution agreement.
