To what extent is an invalid provision of the Bevaris Alliance agreement modified?

According to the 2024 Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document, if any provision within the franchise agreement is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. This ensures that as much of the original provision as possible is retained while still complying with applicable laws and regulations.

If modifying the provision is not possible, the specific part that is invalid will be removed from the agreement. However, this removal or modification will not impact the validity or enforceability of the remaining parts of the agreement. This clause aims to preserve the overall integrity and enforceability of the franchise agreement, even if certain parts are found to be problematic.

This type of clause, known as a severability clause, is common in franchise agreements. It provides a safeguard for both the franchisor and the franchisee by ensuring that the entire agreement does not become void due to a single unenforceable provision. Prospective Bevaris Alliance franchisees should understand that while some terms might be altered or removed if deemed invalid, the core obligations and rights outlined in the agreement will generally remain in effect.
