If any applicable law requires the taking of some other action not required in the Checkersrallys agreement, what happens?
Checkersrallys Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If any applicable law requires a greater prior notice of the termination than is required hereunder, a different standard of "good cause" to terminate this Agreement or the taking of some other action not required hereunder, the prior notice, the "good cause" standard and/or the other action required by such law shall be substituted for the comparable provisions hereof.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if any applicable law requires taking an action not specified in the franchise agreement, the requirements of that law will take precedence. Specifically, the law's requirements regarding prior notice of termination, the standard of "good cause" for termination, or any other required action will be substituted for the comparable provisions in the Checkersrallys franchise agreement.
This means that franchisees must be aware of both the franchise agreement terms and any local, state, or federal laws that may impose additional obligations on the franchisor or franchisee. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to understand how these laws might affect their rights and responsibilities under the agreement.
For a prospective Checkersrallys franchisee, this clause offers a degree of protection by ensuring compliance with applicable laws that may provide greater safeguards than the standard franchise agreement. However, it also places the onus on the franchisee to be informed about relevant legal requirements, which may vary depending on the location of their franchise.
