Which section of the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Franchise Agreement covers indemnification?

According to the 2025 Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 22 discusses contracts and includes a Renewal Addendum to the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Franchise Agreement. Specifically, section 4 of the Renewal Addendum addresses indemnification obligations.

For existing Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchisees renewing their agreements, the indemnification obligations from their prior agreement will continue even after the prior agreement expires. This means that any responsibilities or liabilities the franchisee had under the original agreement to protect Benjamin Franklin Plumbing from losses or damages will remain in effect.

This continuation of indemnification obligations is a standard practice in franchise renewals, ensuring that both parties remain protected from potential liabilities arising from the franchisee's operation of the business, even after the initial agreement term. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the indemnification clauses in both their original franchise agreement and any renewal addendums to fully understand their responsibilities and potential liabilities.
