What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cicis offers no implied warranties to franchisees. The franchise agreement explicitly states that Cicis makes no warranties, guarantees, or promises that franchisees can rely on unless those guarantees are expressly stated in writing within the agreement.
This means a franchisee cannot assume any unwritten guarantees or promises about the potential success or performance of the franchise. Cicis also assumes no liability to the franchisee unless it is expressly stated in writing.
Furthermore, the agreement specifies that franchisees cannot use implied warranties to alter or change the explicitly stated terms of the franchise agreement or any other related agreement. This clause aims to prevent franchisees from claiming they were verbally promised something not included in the written contract. This is a common practice in franchising to ensure clarity and avoid disputes based on misunderstandings or unwritten agreements.
