What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement can only be modified through a written agreement signed by both the franchisee and Beyond Juicery Eatery. This requirement for written modification is a standard practice in franchising to ensure clarity and prevent disputes arising from alleged verbal agreements.
This provision means that any verbal promises or understandings reached outside the written Franchise Agreement are not binding or enforceable. It protects both the franchisee and Beyond Juicery Eatery by requiring a formal, documented process for any changes to the agreement. Franchisees should be aware that any modifications they wish to make to their Franchise Agreement must be documented in writing and agreed upon by Beyond Juicery Eatery to be valid.
Beyond Juicery Eatery retains the right to modify its Confidential Operations Manuals without the franchisee's consent, provided that these modifications do not significantly alter the franchisee's fundamental rights. This allows Beyond Juicery Eatery to adapt its operational procedures as needed while ensuring that franchisees' core rights remain protected under the written Franchise Agreement.
