This disclosure document summarizes certain provisions of the franchise agreement and other information in plain language. Read this disclosure document and all agreements carefully. If City Publications Franchise Group, Inc. offers you a franchise, it must provide this disclosure document to you at least 14 calendar days before you sign a binding agreement with or make a payment to the franchisor or an affiliate in connection with the proposed franchise sale. New York state law requires a franchisor to provide the franchise disclosure document at the earlier of the first personal meeting or 10 business days before the execution of the franchise or other agreement or the payment of any consideration that relates to the franchise relationship.
I have received a disclosure document dated April 20, 2025. This disclosure document included the following exhibits:
- c. Franchise agreement
Source: Item 23 — RECEIPT (FDD pages 39–129)
What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 City Publications Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit C lists the franchise agreement. Item 23 lists the exhibits included in the disclosure document, including the franchise agreement. However, the specific sections within the franchise agreement that detail default and termination are not listed in the provided excerpts.
While the receipt acknowledges the existence of a franchise agreement as 'Exhibit C,' it does not provide a table of contents or index to locate specific clauses regarding termination or default. Item 23 summarizes certain provisions of the franchise agreement and other information in plain language.
To find the relevant sections, a prospective City Publications franchisee should carefully review the full franchise agreement (Exhibit C) and look for sections typically titled 'Default,' 'Termination,' or similar language.
It would also be prudent to consult with a legal professional experienced in franchise law to help identify and understand all the conditions under which the agreement can be terminated and the consequences of such termination.
