Under what conditions is Section 12.D of the Chicken Guy Franchise Agreement deleted?

Based on the 2025 Chicken Guy Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 12.D of the Franchise Agreement is not explicitly mentioned as being deleted under any circumstances in the provided excerpts. However, in an addendum to the Development Agreement for franchisees in Minnesota, Section 22.C-D has sentences added to the end regarding choice of venue. These sentences state that Minnesota Statute § 80C.21 and Minnesota Rule 2860.4400J prohibit Chicken Guy from requiring litigation to be conducted outside Minnesota. It also states that nothing in the disclosure document or agreements can abrogate or reduce any of Developer's rights as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, or Developer's rights to any procedure, forum, or remedies provided for by the laws of the jurisdiction.

Similarly, for franchisees in Minnesota, there is an addendum to the Franchise Agreement that adds sentences to the end of Sections 31.C.-D. regarding choice of venue. These sentences state that Minnesota Statute § 80C.21 and Minnesota Rule 2860.4400J prohibit Chicken Guy from requiring litigation to be conducted outside Minnesota. It also states that nothing in the disclosure document or agreements can abrogate or reduce any of Franchisee's rights as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 80C, or Franchisee's rights to any procedure, forum, or remedies provided for by the laws of the jurisdiction.

Since the excerpts do not provide information about Section 12.D, a prospective Chicken Guy franchisee should ask the franchisor to clarify the contents of Section 12.D of the Franchise Agreement and under what conditions, if any, it is deleted or modified. This is important to understand the full scope of the agreement and any potential obligations or liabilities.
