If the proposed site is approved, the Company will also advise you, within the same thirty (30) day period, whether or not you will be required to include indoor seating in the construction and operation of the B-Bop's Restaurant. Developer agrees that Developer will not enter into any binding agreement with respect to lease or purchase of a proposed site prior to receiving Company's written approval of such site. Developer acknowledges and agrees that approval of a proposed site by Company does not constitute a representation or warranty by Company that such site, with or without indoor seating, will prove to be a successful location for the Unit, and Developer assumes all risks associated with establishing the Unit at such location.
