What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Program Agreement can only be amended by a written instrument. This written instrument must be executed and delivered by all parties involved in the agreement.
This requirement ensures that any changes to the Program Agreement are formally documented and agreed upon by everyone involved, preventing unilateral modifications or misunderstandings. It protects the interests of both Burger King and the franchisee by ensuring mutual consent for any alterations to the original terms.
This type of clause is standard in franchise agreements to maintain clarity and enforceability. Prospective Burger King franchisees should carefully review the Program Agreement and understand that any desired changes must be formally negotiated and documented with Burger King.
