If there is an inconsistency between the Cinnaholic Franchise Agreement and the Addendum, which terms will govern?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms of the Addendum will govern if there is an inconsistency between the Addendum and the Franchise Agreement, including its exhibits or schedules. This means that any modifications or superseding clauses outlined in the Addendum take precedence over the original agreement. This ensures that any state-specific regulations or changes to the agreement are prioritized.

This clause is included in the addenda for Virginia, New York, and other states. These addenda address specific legal requirements within those states, such as deferring initial franchise fee payments until Cinnaholic has met its pre-opening obligations or ensuring franchisees retain certain rights under state franchise laws.

For a prospective Cinnaholic franchisee, this means carefully reviewing the Addendum applicable to their state. Franchisees should understand that the Addendum modifies the original agreement and that its terms are controlling in case of conflict. This is particularly important in states with specific franchise laws that the Addendum is designed to address.
