What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, failure to comply with anti-terrorism laws constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement. Specifically, if a Cicis franchisee, or any of their owners, fails to comply with anti-terrorism laws, ordinances, regulations, and Executive Orders, it is grounds for default under the agreement.
Item 23 outlines several potential remedies available to Cicis in the event of a franchisee's default. While the document does not explicitly state the specific actions Cicis will take if a franchisee fails to comply with anti-terrorism laws, it does state that Cicis has several options. These options include terminating the franchise agreement, modifying or terminating any territorial rights or protection granted to the franchisee, reducing the size of the franchisee's development area, reducing the number of restaurants listed in the development schedule, or pursuing any other remedy available at law or in equity.
It is important for prospective Cicis franchisees to understand that compliance with all laws, including anti-terrorism laws, is a critical obligation under the franchise agreement. Failure to comply can have significant consequences, including the potential loss of their franchise. Franchisees should ensure they have adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
