For a Bb.Q Chicken franchise, when do the franchisee's representations and warranties become effective?

According to the 2025 Bb.Q Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's representations and warranties become effective on the date of execution of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, all representations and warranties made by the franchisee within the agreement must be complete, correct, and accurate as of this date.

This means that from the moment the Franchise Agreement is signed, Bb.Q Chicken relies on the franchisee's statements as being entirely truthful and accurate. These representations and warranties are not just a formality; they are a critical foundation upon which the franchise relationship is built. If any of these representations prove to be false or misleading, it could have significant legal and financial consequences for the franchisee.

Furthermore, these representations and warranties survive any termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement. This means that even after the franchise relationship ends, Bb.Q Chicken can still hold the franchisee accountable for the accuracy of the statements made at the time of signing the agreement. This long-term liability underscores the importance of ensuring that all information provided to Bb.Q Chicken during the franchise application and agreement process is completely honest and precise.
