If the Cinnaholic Addendum is inconsistent with any terms or conditions of the Agreement or the Exhibits or Schedules thereto, which terms govern?

According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically the Illinois Addendum, the terms of the addendum govern if there are inconsistencies with the franchise agreement or its exhibits and schedules. This means that any modifications or specific conditions outlined in the addendum take precedence over the standard terms of the franchise agreement.

This clause is particularly important for prospective Cinnaholic franchisees in Illinois because it ensures that certain protections and regulations under Illinois law are upheld. For instance, the addendum states that no statement or acknowledgment signed by the franchisee can waive claims under state franchise law or disclaim reliance on the franchisor's representations. This safeguards the franchisee's rights and ensures they cannot inadvertently forfeit legal protections.

Furthermore, the Illinois Addendum addresses key aspects such as governing law, payment of fees, and rights upon termination, all tailored to comply with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act. By giving precedence to the addendum, Cinnaholic ensures franchisees in Illinois receive the full benefits and protections mandated by state law, providing a more secure and transparent franchising relationship.
