Who is considered the 'RELEASEE' in the context of the General Release for a Beyond Juicery Eatery franchise?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term 'RELEASEE' is not explicitly defined within the provided excerpts related to the General Release for a Beyond Juicery Eatery franchise. However, Exhibit J is identified as the General Release agreement within the contracts listed in Item 22.

To fully understand who the 'RELEASEE' is, a prospective franchisee should carefully review the full General Release document (Exhibit J) within the FDD.

It is important to consult with a legal professional to fully understand the implications of the General Release and to ensure that the franchisee's interests are protected.
