What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buildingstars Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement stipulates that oral modifications are not binding. The agreement explicitly states that it represents the entire understanding between both parties, superseding any prior negotiations or representations.
Specifically, the document clarifies that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements that are not included in the written agreement will have any force or effect. However, this does not disclaim Buildingstars' representations made in the Franchise Disclosure Document itself.
Furthermore, any amendments to the Buildingstars Franchise Agreement must be in writing and executed by both parties to be considered binding. This provision ensures that all modifications are documented and agreed upon, preventing potential disputes arising from verbal agreements.
