What documents constitute the entire agreement between Cilantro Taco Grill and the franchisee?

According to Cilantro Taco Grill's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement and any addenda executed afterward constitute the entire agreement between the franchisor and the franchisee. This agreement supersedes any prior agreements made between the parties. In case of any conflict or ambiguity between the terms of an addendum and the franchise agreement (or previous addenda), the terms of the addendum will take precedence.

This means that any promises, representations, or agreements made before signing the franchise agreement or its addenda are not legally binding unless they are explicitly included in those documents. It is crucial for a prospective franchisee to ensure that all agreed-upon terms are documented in the franchise agreement or in subsequent addenda to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes later on.

This clause is standard in franchise agreements to provide clarity and prevent disputes based on verbal agreements or preliminary discussions. Franchisees should carefully review all addenda and understand their implications, as these can modify the original terms of the franchise agreement. If there are any discrepancies or unclear points, franchisees should seek clarification from Cilantro Taco Grill before signing.
