For Big O Tires, does the definition of 'Agreement' include the Summary Pages?

According to Big O Tires' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Summary Pages are part of the Franchise Agreement. The FDD states that the Summary Pages summarize the attached Franchise Agreement. However, in the event of any conflict, the details of the Franchise Agreement itself will take precedence over the summary.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that while the Summary Pages can provide a quick overview of the agreement, it is crucial to refer to the full Franchise Agreement for complete and accurate details. If there are discrepancies between the Summary Pages and the main agreement, the terms in the main agreement will govern the relationship between the franchisee and Big O Tires.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where a summary is often provided for convenience but the full legal document contains the binding terms. Franchisees should always carefully review the entire Franchise Agreement and seek legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations.
