Is the amendment to the Boulder Designs Franchise Agreement entered into before or simultaneously with the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, the amendment to the franchise agreement is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Franchise Agreement. The document specifies that the amendment is dated the same year as the agreement and is between Boulder Designs Franchising, LLC, as the franchisor, and the franchisee.

This simultaneous execution indicates that the amendment is an integral part of the initial franchising process. It is not a later modification but rather a condition agreed upon at the same time the franchise agreement is signed. This could include specific modifications or clarifications to the standard franchise agreement that are pertinent to the franchisee's situation or location.

Prospective Boulder Designs franchisees should carefully review the amendment alongside the main franchise agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations. Understanding the interplay between the original agreement and any amendments is crucial for a successful franchise relationship. The FDD also states that any capitalized terms not defined in the amendment will have the same meaning as in the Franchise Agreement.
