What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bens Soft Pretzels Franchise Disclosure Document, the article and section headings used in the sublease agreement are for reference only. They are not considered part of the agreement for interpreting its provisions.
This means that when interpreting the sublease agreement, a Bens Soft Pretzels franchisee should not rely on the headings of the articles or sections to understand the meaning of the clauses. The actual text within each section governs the agreement, not the summary provided by the headings.
This clause is a standard legal provision to ensure that the specific language of the agreement takes precedence over potentially ambiguous or overly simplified headings. A prospective franchisee should carefully read the full text of each section to fully understand their rights and obligations under the sublease, rather than relying on the headings as summaries.
