What actions related to the Cinnabon Manuals can lead to termination of the Franchise Agreement without an opportunity to cure?

According to the 2025 Cinnabon Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can have their Franchise Agreement terminated without an opportunity to cure if they copy or allow others to copy any portion of the Cinnabon Manuals. This excludes forms and similar items included for the express purpose of copying.

Furthermore, the franchisee must take all necessary precautions to ensure that the Manuals are kept free from theft, unauthorized copying, unauthorized access, fire, or other acts that may jeopardize the confidentiality of its contents. This means Cinnabon franchisees must implement robust security measures to protect the proprietary information contained within the manuals, both in physical and digital formats.

Failure to adequately protect the Cinnabon Manuals, leading to a breach of confidentiality, can result in immediate termination of the franchise agreement. This underscores the importance of maintaining the secrecy and integrity of the operational guidelines and confidential information provided by Cinnabon.
