Based on the 2025 FDD, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's principal obligations under the franchise agreement. This item serves as a roadmap, directing franchisees to specific sections within the agreement and disclosure document where more detailed information about each obligation can be found.

Specifically, Item 9 itself does not define 'you' or elaborate on the implications of that definition. However, it sets the stage for understanding the franchisee's responsibilities, which are detailed throughout the Franchise Agreement and other referenced documents. The obligations cover a wide range of operational and compliance aspects.

To fully understand how the definition of 'you' impacts the obligations, a prospective Bft franchisee should carefully review Item 1 of the FDD, which defines the franchisee entity, and then cross-reference that definition with each obligation listed in Item 9 and detailed in the corresponding sections of the Franchise Agreement. This will clarify who specifically is responsible for fulfilling each obligation – whether it's the individual franchisee, a business entity, or both.
