According to the Aw franchise agreement, what constitutes the provisions of the agreement?

According to the 2025 Aw Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement, along with its introduction, exhibits, attachments, the Operations Manual, and all other written standards, specifications, or policies issued by Aw, constitutes the entire agreement between Aw and the franchisee. This means that all the key terms and conditions governing the franchise relationship are contained within these documents. Any other oral or written understandings or agreements not included in these documents are not considered part of the agreement. However, the paragraph does not disclaim the representations Aw has made in their Franchise Disclosure Document that was furnished to the franchisee.

This clause aims to provide clarity and certainty to both Aw and the franchisee by consolidating all relevant terms into a single, comprehensive agreement. It also ensures that franchisees have access to all the information they need to understand their rights and obligations. However, Aw retains the right to unilaterally modify the agreement, except for modifications permitted to be made unilaterally by Aw, this Agreement may be modified only by written agreement signed by both you and us.

It is important for prospective Aw franchisees to carefully review all the documents that constitute the franchise agreement, including the Operations Manual and any other written standards or policies. Franchisees should also ensure that they understand all the terms and conditions before signing the agreement. This will help avoid any misunderstandings or disputes later on and ensure a successful franchise relationship with Aw.
