What is required for any amendments to the provisions in the Addendum or any rights granted to the Bft Franchisor?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any changes to the lease addendum's provisions or the rights granted to Bft require the franchisor's prior written consent. This stipulation ensures that Bft maintains control over key aspects of the franchise operation, particularly those related to the premises and brand standards.

For a prospective Bft franchisee, this means that any negotiation or modification of the lease agreement that affects the franchisor's rights or the provisions outlined in the addendum must be approved in writing by Bft. This could include alterations to signage, subleasing arrangements, or any other terms that impact Bft's interests as a third-party beneficiary to the lease.

The requirement for written consent protects Bft's brand and operational consistency across all franchise locations. It also ensures that the landlord is aware of Bft's involvement and rights concerning the leased premises. Franchisees should be aware of this requirement and factor it into their lease negotiations and any subsequent modifications they may seek.
