Bens Soft Pretzels provides this financial performance representation based on information from its affiliates, without an audit. The FDD emphasizes that the company does not authorize its employees or representatives to make any other financial performance representations, either orally or in writing. If a potential franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections, they are advised to report it to the franchisor's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This is a standard disclaimer in franchise FDDs to protect both the franchisor and franchisee from unrealistic expectations or misleading claims.
