You will not conduct, and you will not permit the conduct of any, sale of Approved Products using the Marks at any location other than the Accepted Location (except for the Catering Services and Delivery Services described in Section 4.3) without our prior written consent. If we consent to operations away from your Accepted Location, you will have to execute a separate agreement concerning your mobile or satellite business operations, which may include limitations on the type of activities that you may conduct and may include additional or different financial terms.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Carvel consents to a franchisee operating away from their Accepted Location, the franchisee must execute a separate agreement. This agreement will specifically concern the franchisee's mobile or satellite business operations.
This separate agreement may include certain limitations. These limitations could pertain to the types of activities the franchisee is allowed to conduct outside of the Accepted Location.
Additionally, the separate agreement may outline different or additional financial terms that the franchisee must adhere to for these off-site operations. This implies that the standard franchise agreement terms may not fully apply to the mobile or satellite business, and franchisees should carefully review the financial implications of such operations.
