Does Cicis make any warranties upon which related parties of the franchisee may rely?

According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cicis makes no warranties, guarantees, or promises upon which the franchisee or their related parties may rely. Furthermore, Cicis assumes no liability or obligation to the franchisee or any related party unless expressly stated in writing. This means that any assurances or understandings not explicitly documented in the franchise agreement or other written agreements are not binding on Cicis. Franchisees cannot depend on implied warranties to alter the terms of any agreement.

This disclaimer is a standard practice in franchising. It protects Cicis from potential claims based on verbal promises or implied understandings that are not part of the written contract. Prospective franchisees should be aware that only the terms and conditions explicitly written in the franchise agreement and related documents are legally enforceable.

Therefore, it is crucial for potential Cicis franchisees to carefully review all documents and ensure that any important representations or agreements are included in writing. Relying on verbal assurances or assumptions not documented in writing carries significant risk, as Cicis is not obligated to honor them. This policy extends to the franchisee's related parties, reinforcing the importance of thorough due diligence and clear, written agreements.
