Which sections of 22.1 of the Buns On Fire Franchise Agreement are deleted for Maryland franchises?

According to the 2025 Buns On Fire Franchise Disclosure Document, several subsections of Section 22.1, titled "Your Acknowledgments," are deleted from the Franchise Agreement for Maryland franchisees. Specifically, sections 22.1.1 through 22.1.6, section 22.1.8, and section 22.1.12 are removed. This deletion is part of the Maryland Addendum to the Franchise Agreement, indicating that Maryland franchise law may conflict with or supersede these particular sections.

For a prospective Buns On Fire franchisee in Maryland, this means that the acknowledgments and agreements typically found in these deleted sections do not apply. These sections likely contain clauses that could be disadvantageous to the franchisee under Maryland law, such as waivers of certain rights or acknowledgments of specific obligations. By deleting these sections, the addendum aims to ensure compliance with Maryland's franchise regulations and protect the franchisee's rights.

It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review the Maryland Addendum in conjunction with the Franchise Agreement to understand which provisions are modified or do not apply. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of these deletions and how they affect their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement. This ensures that franchisees are fully aware of their legal standing and protections under Maryland law when entering into the Buns On Fire franchise agreement.
