Does the Beggars Pizza Franchise Agreement confer rights or remedies to individuals or entities not explicitly named in section 24.3?

According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 24.3 of the Franchise Agreement specifies that the agreement does not confer rights or remedies to any person or legal entity other than the franchisee, franchisor, franchisor's officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and employees. This also extends to the franchisor's successors and assigns as contemplated by Section 14.

This provision clarifies that only those parties specifically named in the agreement or their direct representatives have the ability to enforce the terms of the agreement or seek remedies for any breaches. This is a standard legal practice to limit liability and ensure that only parties with a direct interest in the agreement can take action related to it.

For a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, this means that if a dispute arises, only they, as the franchisee, or Beggars Pizza, as the franchisor, can pursue legal remedies under the agreement. Third parties, such as suppliers or customers, do not have standing to enforce the terms of the Franchise Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise within the agreement.
