Does Chicken Guy provide any warranties or guarantees when providing a waiver, approval, consent, or suggestion to the franchisee?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chicken Guy does not provide any warranties or guarantees to franchisees when providing any waiver, approval, consent, or suggestion. Chicken Guy also assumes no liability or obligation to the franchisee for providing any waiver, approval, consent, or suggestion.

This means that if Chicken Guy provides a franchisee with a waiver, approval, consent, or suggestion, the franchisee cannot rely on it as a guarantee of any particular outcome. The franchisee is still responsible for making their own decisions and for bearing the risks associated with those decisions. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to avoid being held liable for the decisions of their franchisees.

This lack of warranty extends to any neglect, delay, or denial of a request for a waiver, approval, or consent. Furthermore, any approvals, advice, or services provided by Chicken Guy do not create any responsibility or liability to the franchisee or any third parties that Chicken Guy would not otherwise be subject to. This reinforces that franchisees operate independently and bear the ultimate responsibility for their business operations, even when following Chicken Guy's guidance.
