What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Speedline System Purchase Agreement outlines which terms survive the termination or expiration of the agreement. Terms and conditions that inherently require continued performance, such as limitations of liability, survive the termination or expiration of the Speedline agreement.
Specifically, in the event of termination or expiration of the agreement, the franchisee's rights to continue using the service cease. However, certain provisions remain in effect. These include all definitions, the franchisee's accrued financial obligations, and the license to Customer Content and User Data, but only to the extent necessary for Speedline to fulfill its post-termination obligations. Additionally, specific sections and paragraphs of the agreement, namely Sections 4, 9, 11.d, 13, 14, 16, and 17, will also survive termination.
For a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, this means that even after the agreement ends, certain obligations and rights persist. For example, any outstanding payments owed to Speedline must still be paid. Furthermore, Speedline retains the right to use the franchisee's content and data as needed to complete any unfinished business related to the terminated agreement. The surviving sections likely cover essential legal aspects such as intellectual property, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for a clean separation. Franchisees should carefully review these sections to understand their ongoing responsibilities and rights after the agreement concludes.
