Does the Cinnaholic Telephone Listing Agreement survive the termination of the Franchise Agreement?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Telephone Listing Agreement survives the termination of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, Section 3.7 of the Telephone Listing Agreement states that the agreement remains in effect even after the Franchise Agreement is terminated.

This means that even after a Cinnaholic franchise closes or the franchise agreement ends, the franchisee's obligations under the Telephone Listing Agreement continue. This could involve transferring telephone numbers and listings to Cinnaholic, or terminating them as directed by Cinnaholic.

This survival clause is a significant point for prospective franchisees to consider. It ensures that Cinnaholic maintains control over telephone listings and numbers associated with the brand, even after an individual franchise ceases operation. Franchisees should understand the implications of this clause and how it might affect their responsibilities post-termination.
