What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, a customer's ability to transfer or assign their agreement is restricted and requires prior written consent from SpeedLine. Specifically, the agreement cannot be transferred or assigned, whether in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the customer without obtaining SpeedLine's written approval beforehand.
This restriction is a fairly standard practice in franchising and similar contractual agreements. It allows Beggars Pizza to maintain control over who is utilizing their services and software, ensuring that any new user meets their standards and obligations. This provision helps protect the integrity and consistency of the Beggars Pizza brand and service quality.
However, the agreement can be assigned by SpeedLine. If the agreement or the software is assigned, transferred, or sub-licensed, the agreement will be binding on the software recipient. This clause ensures that any changes in the user of the software or agreement do not invalidate the original terms and conditions, providing continuity and legal protection for Beggars Pizza.
