What articles in the Crave Franchise Agreement and sections in the MUDA cover indemnification?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the indemnification obligations are outlined in Article 15 of the Franchise Agreement and Section 14 of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement (MUDA). Indemnification generally requires the franchisee to protect Crave from losses, damages, and liabilities arising from the franchisee's operation of the business.

Specifically, Attachment 7 to the Franchise Agreement, the Americans with Disabilities Act Certification, also addresses indemnification. The franchisee acknowledges their obligation under the Franchise Agreement to indemnify the officers, directors, and employees of Crave in connection with any claims, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, compliance costs, and damages incurred by the indemnified party(ies) as a result of any matters associated with the franchisee's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, including attorney's fees.

For a prospective Crave franchisee, this means they will be responsible for covering Crave's legal costs and potential damages if a third party sues Crave due to the franchisee's actions or failure to comply with certain laws and regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is important for franchisees to fully understand the scope of these indemnification clauses and to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage to protect themselves against potential claims.
