If Beyond Juicery Eatery assigns its agreement, what happens to its obligations?

According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Beyond Juicery Eatery assigns the lease to another franchisee, Beyond Juicery Eatery is released from any further liability under the lease. This means that once the assignment is complete, the franchisor no longer has any responsibility for the lease obligations.

This clause protects Beyond Juicery Eatery from ongoing liabilities if they transfer the lease to a new franchisee. However, it's important to note that this release only applies after the assignment takes effect. Beyond Juicery Eatery remains responsible for any liabilities incurred before the assignment date.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding the terms of the lease agreement and the conditions under which Beyond Juicery Eatery might assign it. It also emphasizes the need to ensure that all obligations are met before the assignment to avoid any potential disputes or liabilities.
