What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement can only be modified through a written agreement between the franchisee and Boulder Designs. This means that any changes to the original agreement must be formally documented and agreed upon by both parties to be considered valid.
This requirement for written modification is a standard practice in franchising, ensuring clarity and preventing disputes based on verbal agreements or understandings. It protects both Boulder Designs and the franchisee by providing a clear record of any changes to their contractual obligations.
Prospective franchisees should understand that this provision means they cannot rely on any promises or representations made outside of the written Franchise Agreement and its exhibits. Any desired changes or clarifications should be negotiated and formalized in writing to be enforceable. This underscores the importance of carefully reviewing the entire agreement and seeking legal counsel before signing.
