On what legal grounds can a Crave multi-unit developer seek to terminate the agreement?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a multi-unit developer can seek to terminate the agreement on any grounds available to them under the law. This means that the developer is not limited to specific reasons outlined in the franchise agreement itself, but can rely on broader legal principles and statutes that govern contracts and business relationships in the relevant jurisdiction.

This provision offers a degree of protection for the multi-unit developer, allowing them to pursue termination if Crave engages in conduct that, while not explicitly prohibited in the agreement, violates applicable laws or breaches fundamental legal duties. It is important to note that the success of such a termination would depend on the specific facts and circumstances, as well as the interpretation of relevant laws by a court of law.

Prospective Crave multi-unit developers should consult with legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, as well as the potential grounds for termination available to them under applicable law. This includes understanding what constitutes a legally valid reason for termination in their specific state or region, and the process for pursuing such a termination through legal channels.
