What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chicken Guy does not provide any warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of the confidential information provided to a potential franchisee. Chicken Guy has endeavored to include material known to it which it believes to be relevant for the Potential Franchisee's purposes. However, Chicken Guy makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information.
Furthermore, Chicken Guy makes no representations or warranties as to the potential sales at a Chicken Guy restaurant, and no information supplied by Chicken Guy should be construed as a prediction of future sales. This means a potential franchisee cannot hold Chicken Guy liable for any inaccuracies or omissions in the provided confidential information, nor can they rely on this information to predict future sales performance.
Potential franchisees must acknowledge that neither Chicken Guy nor its representatives shall have any liability to the potential franchisee, the franchisee's representatives, or any other person resulting from the use of the confidential information. This underscores the importance of conducting thorough independent due diligence and not solely relying on the information provided by Chicken Guy when evaluating the franchise opportunity. It is common practice in franchising for franchisors to disclaim warranties regarding projections or estimates, placing the onus on the franchisee to validate the business opportunity.
