What acceptance is waived by the Guarantor under the Crab N Spice Guaranty?

Based on the 2024 Crab N Spice Franchise Disclosure Document, the North Dakota Rider to the Franchise Agreement specifies certain waivers that are not required of the franchisee or any guarantor.

Specifically, the North Dakota Rider states that neither the franchisee nor any guarantor is required to waive a trial by jury. This means that in any legal dispute related to the franchise agreement in North Dakota, both the franchisee and the guarantor retain their right to have the case decided by a jury rather than a judge.

Additionally, the franchisee and any guarantor are not required to waive exemplary and punitive damages. This ensures that they can still seek these types of damages in legal proceedings if the situation warrants it under North Dakota law. The rider also clarifies that the franchisee and any guarantor are not required to sign a general release upon renewal of the agreement, protecting them from unknowingly releasing claims they may have against Crab N Spice.
