How can the Crave Cookies franchise agreement be modified or amended?

According to the 2025 Crave Cookies Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can only be modified or amended if the changes are documented in writing and signed by both the franchisee and Crave Cookies Franchising. This requirement ensures that any alterations to the original agreement are formally agreed upon and legally binding for both parties.

This provision protects both the franchisee and Crave Cookies by preventing misunderstandings or disputes over alleged verbal agreements or informal changes. By requiring a written and signed amendment, the terms of the modification are clearly defined and can be referenced in the future if needed. This is a standard practice in franchising to maintain clarity and enforceability of the franchise agreement.

However, the FDD also states that this requirement does not limit Crave Cookies Franchising's rights to modify the Manual or System Standards. This means that Crave Cookies retains the authority to update its operational guidelines and standards without needing a formal amendment to the franchise agreement. Franchisees must stay informed about changes to the Manual and System Standards, as these changes are binding even without a signed agreement modification.
