What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement states that all references to masculine, neuter, or singular terms should be interpreted to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, or plural. This is unless the context of the agreement suggests otherwise.
This clause is a standard legal provision designed to prevent ambiguity in the interpretation of the franchise agreement. It ensures that the agreement applies correctly regardless of whether a term is expressed in a particular gender or number. For example, if a clause refers to "the franchisee," this provision clarifies that it also applies to multiple franchisees or a female franchisee.
For a prospective Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisee, this means the agreement is designed to be as inclusive and unambiguous as possible. It avoids potential legal challenges based on technicalities of language, ensuring that the obligations and rights outlined in the agreement are clear and consistently applied.
