What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Name' lines for the Guarantors are for the individuals who are agreeing to guarantee the franchisee's obligations under the Franchise Agreement to print their names. This means that the individuals signing as guarantors are personally promising that the franchisee will meet all financial and performance responsibilities outlined in the agreement.
The guarantor's commitment extends to ensuring the franchisee pays all required amounts on time and fulfills every obligation, agreement, and covenant detailed in the Franchise Agreement, including any amendments or addenda. The guarantor also agrees to be personally bound by every term of the Franchise Agreement, making them personally liable for any breaches and responsible for rectifying them.
By signing the Guaranty, each guarantor agrees to be subject to all restrictive covenants in the Franchise Agreement. This includes covenants related to Articles 6, 14, 15, and 16, which likely cover various aspects of the franchise operation, such as operational standards, non-compete clauses, and dispute resolution. The guarantor also waives certain rights, such as the right to require that action be first brought against the franchisee before pursuing the guarantor.
In essence, the guarantor's signature and printed name on the Guaranty signify a comprehensive and unconditional commitment to ensure the franchisee's compliance with the Franchise Agreement. This provides Bor Restoration with an additional layer of security, as they have recourse to the guarantor's assets and resources if the franchisee fails to meet their obligations.
