Is there any exception to the rule that only the terms of the Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Agreement are binding?

According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms of the Franchise Agreement are generally binding. However, this is subject to certain exceptions. Specifically, any promises or representations made outside of the Franchise Disclosure Document itself are not enforceable. This means that if a Beyond Juicery Eatery representative makes verbal promises or assurances that are not written into the Franchise Agreement or the FDD, the franchisee cannot rely on those promises as legally binding.

This integration/merger clause is a common provision in franchise agreements. It protects Beyond Juicery Eatery from claims based on informal or undocumented representations. It also underscores the importance for prospective franchisees to carefully review the entire FDD and Franchise Agreement and to ensure that all material terms and conditions are clearly documented in writing.

Prospective Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisees should be aware that only the written terms of the Franchise Agreement are legally enforceable. Any verbal promises or representations made by the franchisor or its representatives should be viewed with caution unless they are incorporated into the written agreement. It is advisable to seek legal counsel to review the Franchise Agreement before signing to ensure a full understanding of the franchisee's rights and obligations.
