What is the definition of 'Agreement' within the Bojangles Advertising Expense Sharing Agreement?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term "Agreement" within the context of the Advertising Expense Sharing Agreement refers specifically to the agreement that is outlined within the document itself. This clarifies that when the document refers to "this Agreement," it is referring to the terms and conditions detailed in that particular Advertising Expense Sharing Agreement.

This definition is important for franchisees as it provides clarity and avoids ambiguity regarding the scope and application of the agreement. Franchisees can be certain that their obligations and rights are governed by the specific terms outlined in this document, and not by any other external agreements or understandings unless explicitly referenced.

Understanding this definition helps franchisees navigate their responsibilities related to cooperative advertising programs within their designated market area (DMA). It ensures that all parties involved, including Bojangles and other franchisees within the DMA, are operating under the same understanding of the agreement's terms.
