What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 9.4 of the Franchise Agreement covers indemnification and reimbursement for damages. Specifically, Crave will indemnify and reimburse a franchisee for damages they are held liable for in any proceeding arising from the use of Crave's trademarks. This includes settlement amounts.
However, this protection is conditional. To be eligible for indemnification, the franchisee and its principals must have fully complied with all the terms of the Franchise Agreement. This means that any breach of contract on the franchisee's part could void this protection.
Indemnification clauses are common in franchise agreements, as they protect franchisees from liabilities arising from the franchisor's intellectual property. Franchisees should carefully review Section 9.4 of the Crave Franchise Agreement to fully understand the scope of this protection and the conditions that must be met to qualify for indemnification.
