What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a lease is assigned, the assignee (Rayyan Pizza Franchise LLC, the franchisor) assumes the responsibilities and obligations of the lease. Specifically, the assignee takes on the performance of all terms, covenants, and conditions of the telephone company and social media companies associated with the telephone numbers, listings, and social media accounts, as if the assignee were the original party to the agreements. This transfer takes effect once the assignment is complete.
Furthermore, the assignor (the franchisee) is required to indemnify the assignee against any valid claims, obligations, losses, damages, and taxes that occur or accrue on or before the date the assignee takes over the lease. This indemnification also covers all reasonable costs incurred by the assignee in defending against such claims, including attorney's fees, expert witness fees, investigation costs, court costs, and other litigation expenses.
Aw's consent to an assignment does not waive any claims Aw may have against the assignor, nor does it waive Aw's right to demand exact compliance with any terms of the agreement by the assignee. The assignment is effective for the full term of the lease, including any renewals or extensions, and becomes void upon the lease's expiration.
