Which sections of the Azal Coffee Franchise Agreement concerning initial training are deleted by this addendum?

According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a franchisee is acquiring an existing Azal Coffee store through a transfer, certain sections of the standard Franchise Agreement are amended or deleted. Specifically, Section 5 of the Franchise Agreement, which likely covers various services provided by Azal Coffee, is modified. Section 5.5 is entirely deleted, and the first sentence of Section 5.8 is also removed.

This means that franchisees purchasing an existing Azal Coffee location will not receive the services or be subject to the conditions outlined in these deleted sections. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand what these sections cover in the original Franchise Agreement to fully grasp the implications of their removal. This could affect the level of support or specific obligations related to initial training that the franchisee might otherwise expect.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Franchise Agreement and this addendum to understand exactly what services or requirements are being waived. They should also inquire with Azal Coffee about the specific content of Sections 5.5 and 5.8 to assess the impact on their training and ongoing support when taking over an existing franchise.
