What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guarantor, under the Guaranty and Non-Compete Agreement, waives several notices related to the franchisee's obligations and potential defaults. This waiver is a significant aspect of the guaranty, shifting the responsibility to the guarantor to stay informed and prepared to act if the franchisee fails to meet their obligations.
The Guarantor waives acceptance and notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by Bombs Away. They also waive notice of demand for payment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of obligations by the franchisee. Additionally, the guarantor waives protest and notice of default to any party regarding the guaranteed indebtedness or nonperformance. This means Bombs Away is not obligated to inform the Guarantor about these events before seeking recourse.
Furthermore, the Guarantor gives up any right to require Bombs Away to first bring an action against the franchisee or any other person before pursuing the Guarantor. They also waive all rights to payments and claims for reimbursement or subrogation against the franchisee arising from their performance under the Guaranty. The Guarantor also waives any legal requirement that Bombs Away must first demand payment from, assert claims against, or take action against the franchisee before pursuing the Guarantor.
Finally, the Guarantor waives any and all other notices and legal or equitable defenses they may be entitled to. This comprehensive waiver means the Guarantor essentially agrees to be fully liable for the franchisee's obligations without needing to receive specific notices or be able to raise defenses that might otherwise be available. This arrangement is common in franchising to ensure the franchisor has a direct and clear path to recover debts or enforce obligations if the franchisee defaults, providing Bombs Away with stronger protection.
