Franchisee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Franchisor's approval of a site does not constitute an express or implied assurance, representation, or warranty of any kind of the suitability of the site for the Restaurant or any other purpose.
Franchisor's approval of the site indicates only that Franchisor believes the site complies with acceptable minimum criteria established by Franchisor solely for its purposes as of the time of the evaluation.
Both Franchisee and Franchisor acknowledge that application of criteria that may have been effective with respect to other sites and premises may not be predictive of potential for all sites and that, subsequent to
Franchisor's approval of a site, demographic and/or economic factors, such as competition from other similar businesses, included in or excluded from Franchisor's criteria could change, thereby altering the potential of a site or lease. Such factors are unpredictable and are beyond Franchisor's control. Franchisor will not be responsible for the failure of a site approved by Franchisee to meet Franchisee's expectations as to revenue or operational criteria. Franchisee further acknowledges and agrees that its acceptance of a franchise for the operation of the Restaurant at the site is based on its own independent investigation of the suitability of the site.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor does not provide assurances regarding site suitability. Specifically, Beggars Pizza's approval of a site indicates only that it believes the site meets the minimum criteria established by them at the time of evaluation.
The FDD emphasizes that the criteria used for site selection may not accurately predict the potential of all sites. Demographic and economic factors can change after Beggars Pizza approves a site, which could alter the site's potential. These factors are beyond Beggars Pizza's control, and they will not be held responsible if an approved site fails to meet the franchisee's expectations regarding revenue or operational criteria.
The franchisee acknowledges that their decision to operate a Beggars Pizza restaurant at the approved site is based on their own independent investigation of the site's suitability. Furthermore, no statement signed by a franchisee will waive claims under state franchise law or disclaim reliance on statements made by the franchisor.
