According to the Belocal agreement, must all modifications be in writing?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement contains an integration clause, meaning that the written agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties.

Specifically, the agreement states that it can only be modified or amended through a written document that has been duly authorized and executed by all parties involved. This requirement ensures that any changes to the original agreement are formally documented and agreed upon by both Belocal and the franchisee, preventing potential misunderstandings or disputes based on verbal agreements or informal communications.

This provision is typical in franchise agreements to provide clarity and legal certainty. Prospective Belocal franchisees should understand that any modifications they wish to make to their franchise agreement must be formalized in writing to be legally binding. This protects both the franchisee and Belocal by ensuring that all terms are clear and unambiguous.
