What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Anti-Terrorism Laws' are comprehensively defined. These laws encompass Executive Order 13224 issued by the President of the United States, the Terrorism Sanctions Regulation (Title 31, Part 595 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations), the Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations (Title 31, Part 597 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations), the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (Title 31, Part 515 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations), and the USA PATRIOT Act.
Furthermore, the definition extends to include all other present and future federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, policies, lists, and any other requirements from governmental authorities. This includes, but is not limited to, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control and any other government agency that has jurisdiction over the parties involved in the agreement and their actions. These laws and regulations specifically address or relate in any way to terrorist acts and/or acts of war.
For a prospective Cinnaholic franchisee, this definition is crucial because compliance with these laws is mandatory. Franchisees and their owners must certify that none of their property or interests are subject to being 'blocked' under these Anti-Terrorism Laws and that they are not in violation of any of these laws. Non-compliance or any misrepresentation can lead to immediate termination of the franchise agreement, highlighting the importance of understanding and adhering to these regulations.
