What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the entire agreement between Checkersrallys and the franchisee concerning the subject matter of the addendum is contained within the addendum itself. This means that the addendum represents the complete understanding between both parties regarding the specific topics it covers.
The document explicitly states that the addendum supersedes any prior written or oral agreements, exchanges, arrangements, or negotiations made between Checkersrallys and the franchisee or their representatives. This provision ensures that only the terms and conditions outlined in the addendum are legally binding, providing clarity and preventing disputes based on previous communications.
Furthermore, the addendum specifies that it cannot be altered, amended, or modified unless both parties execute a written agreement to that effect. This requirement for written modification reinforces the integrity of the agreement and ensures that any changes are formally documented and agreed upon by both Checkersrallys and the franchisee. This clause is typical in franchise agreements to prevent misunderstandings or unilateral changes to the contract terms.
