In the event Company determines in its reasonable judgment (through inspection or otherwise) that Franchisee has failed to maintain the Franchise Premises in accordance with Company's standards for cleanliness, condition and appearance, Company shall notify Franchisee of the deficiencies and demand that specific corrective action be taken. If Franchisee fails within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to correct the deficiencies or to implement and diligently pursue a program for the correction of such deficiencies, Company or its agents shall be entitled (but not required) to enter the Franchise Premises (without liability for trespass or other tort) to make such repairs and perform such

refurbishing or redecorating as may be necessary to bring the Franchise Premises into compliance with Company's standards, all at the expense of Franchisee. Franchisee agrees to pay Company on demand for all reasonable expenses incurred by Company in correcting the deficiencies, plus interest at the rate specified in Section 9(E) hereof from the date of payment by Company.

  • G. Modifications to System. Franchisee acknowledges that the Licensed System must continue to evolve in order to exploit new and changing consumer demands and, accordingly, that modifications and additions to the Licensed System may be necessary from time to time during the Term of this Agreement in order to preserve and enhance the public image of a B-Bop's Restaurant. Franchisee agrees that Company may from time to time modify, add to or otherwise revise the Licensed System, the Licensed Marks or the standards as set forth in the Operations Manual, provided that no such modification, addition or revision shall be commercially unreasonable under the circumstances or alter or conflict with the terms of this Agreement. Franchisee agrees to promptly accept and implement at its expense any of such modifications, additions or other revisions to the Licensed System, the Licensed Marks or the standards as set forth in the Operations Manual within such period of time as Company shall specify.

Franchisee agrees to cooperate with Company's representatives in all such inspections and render such assistance as may reasonably be requested. Franchisee acknowledges that Company shall be entitled during any inspection to interview Franchisee's employees or customers. Franchisee agrees to remedy any noncompliance with Company policies or standards noted during any inspection within ten (10) days of the date of inspection, or within such longer period as Company may in its discretion grant. Franchisee acknowledges that continuous noncompliance with Company standards and policies, even though remedied after each inspection, shall constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement.
  • I. Other Businesses. Franchisee shall not directly or indirectly operate or engage in any business or activity, other than a B-Bop's Restaurant, on the Franchise Premises without the prior written consent of Company. Franchisee shall be restricted to preparing and serving only those food and beverage items as may be included from time to time in Company's standard menu.

  • A. Development of Advertising. Company shall, with the funds collected pursuant to the advertising fee paid by Franchisee and all other franchisees, develop and provide to Franchise advertising, promotional and public relations campaigns to promote the Licensed System and the Licensed Marks. All decisions from time to time regarding the content, concepts, materials and media used in developing such campaigns shall be within the sole discretion of Company. Franchisee shall be responsible at its own expense for implementing such campaigns in accordance with Section 10(D) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that Company shall be under no obligation to develop or provide advertising campaigns to Franchisee during any period of time in which Company has elected to waive payment in whole of the advertising fee by Franchisee.

Company will make a minimum of two (2) trips per year to the Franchise Premises to provide on-site support and advisory services to Franchisee for the proper operation of the Franchise. Each support trip shall be made at the expense of Company and shall be scheduled at Company's discretion.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 B Bops Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to maintain the cleanliness, condition, and appearance standards of their franchise, B Bops will notify them of the deficiencies and demand corrective action. The franchisee has ten days to correct these issues. If the franchisee fails to address the deficiencies within this timeframe, B Bops has the right to enter the premises and make the necessary repairs or refurbishments at the franchisee's expense. The franchisee is then obligated to pay B Bops for all reasonable expenses incurred, along with interest as specified in Section 9(E) of the agreement, from the date of B Bops's payment.

Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for promptly paying all accounts payable, invoices, and obligations related to the operation of the franchise, whether these payments are due to B Bops or to third parties. Upon termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee must pay B Bops or its affiliates all outstanding fees and amounts owed under the agreement, as well as any other amounts owed under any other agreement related to the franchise.

Furthermore, individuals who are partners, shareholders, or members of the franchisee entity provide a personal guarantee to B Bops. This guarantee ensures that they are personally bound by the terms of the franchise agreement and unconditionally guarantee the full and prompt payment of any indebtedness of the franchisee arising from the agreement. This includes monetary obligations and any obligation to take or refrain from specific actions. Therefore, non-payment can lead to personal liability for the franchisee's owners or partners.

In the event of non-payment and subsequent termination, the franchisee must cease operating as a B Bops restaurant, discontinue using the Licensed Marks, and modify the franchise premises to distinguish it from a B Bops restaurant. Continuous noncompliance with B Bops' standards and policies, even if remedied after each inspection, can also lead to the termination of the franchise agreement.
