What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement can be modified. However, any modifications to the Boulder Designs Franchise Agreement must be made through a written agreement signed by both the franchisee and Boulder Designs.
This requirement for written modification is a standard practice in franchising. It ensures that both parties are clear on the changes and that there is a documented record of the agreed-upon modifications. This protects both Boulder Designs and the franchisee from future misunderstandings or disputes regarding the terms of the franchise relationship.
Prospective Boulder Designs franchisees should be aware that any verbal promises or representations made outside of the written Franchise Agreement and its exhibits may not be legally binding or enforceable. It is crucial to ensure that all agreed-upon terms and conditions are documented in writing to avoid potential issues later on.
