What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Camp Margaritaville Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum to the franchise agreement addresses the relationship between the agreement and any riders or prior agreements. Specifically, the terms of the rider are subject to and governed by the franchise agreement.
Except where the rider explicitly states otherwise, the original franchise agreement remains in full effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the franchise agreement and the rider, the terms of the rider will take precedence.
This means that while the initial franchise agreement is the primary document, any addenda or riders, such as those addressing state-specific regulations or modifications to standard terms, can override specific sections of the original agreement. Franchisees should carefully review all addenda and riders in conjunction with the main franchise agreement to understand their rights and obligations fully.
