Is notice to the Master Franchisee considered notice to all the undersigned guarantors under the Bhc Guarantee?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any notice or demand upon the Master Franchisee is considered as notice or demand upon the Master Franchisee and all guarantors ('the undersigned'). This means Bhc does not need to make separate notifications to each guarantor.

This provision simplifies communication for Bhc, as they only need to inform the Master Franchisee of any relevant issues or demands. However, it places a responsibility on the Master Franchisee to ensure all guarantors are informed, as they will be held responsible regardless of whether they received direct notice.

This clause is designed to streamline the process and ensure that all parties are considered informed when the Master Franchisee receives the notice. The guarantors cannot claim lack of notification as a defense, as notice to the Master Franchisee is legally equivalent to notice to all. This is a common practice in franchising to ensure efficient communication and accountability.
