  • (xiv) BBF (or any affiliate) terminates any other agreement with Franchisee (or any affiliate) due to the breach of such other agreement by Franchisee (or its affiliate) (provided that termination of a Multi-Unit Development Agreement with Franchisee or its affiliate shall not give BBF the right to terminate this Agreement);

What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to the 2024 Better Blend Franchise Disclosure Document, Better Blend Franchising, LLC (BBF) can terminate the franchise agreement if the franchisee (or an affiliate) breaches another agreement with BBF (or an affiliate). However, the termination of a Multi-Unit Development Agreement with the franchisee or its affiliate does not give BBF the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement.

This provision means that if a Better Blend franchisee has multiple agreements with the franchisor, such as a supply agreement or a separate franchise agreement for another location, a breach of any of those agreements could trigger termination of the primary franchise agreement. This clause underscores the importance of franchisees fulfilling all contractual obligations with Better Blend to avoid jeopardizing their franchise.

It is important to note the exception regarding Multi-Unit Development Agreements. Even if a franchisee breaches a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, Better Blend cannot use that breach as grounds to terminate the standard Franchise Agreement. This provides a degree of protection for franchisees who have committed to developing multiple units but may face challenges in meeting the development schedule or other terms of the development agreement.
