What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guarantor, who is providing a guarantee for the Franchisee's obligations, waives certain rights and notices to streamline the process if Bombs Away needs to enforce the guarantee. Specifically, the Guarantor waives acceptance and notice of acceptance by Bombs Away of the Guaranty. This means Bombs Away doesn't have to formally notify the Guarantor that they accept the guarantee for it to be valid.
In addition to waiving acceptance, the Guarantor also waives notice of demand for payment of any debt or nonperformance of the Franchisee's obligations. This means Bombs Away doesn't have to inform the Guarantor that the Franchisee has defaulted before seeking payment or performance from the Guarantor. The Guarantor also waives protest and notice of default related to the guaranteed obligations.
These waivers are common in franchise agreements to ensure that the franchisor can act quickly and efficiently if a franchisee fails to meet their obligations. By waiving these rights, the Guarantor is essentially agreeing to be immediately responsible for the Franchisee's debts and obligations without requiring Bombs Away to go through additional notification steps.
