What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, the term "Franchisee" is defined within the context of the System Protection Agreement. Specifically, it clarifies that "Franchisee" refers to the Crepe De Licious franchisee for whom an individual is acting as a manager or officer. This definition appears in Exhibit H-2, the sample System Protection Agreement included in the FDD.
This definition is important because it clarifies the scope and applicability of the System Protection Agreement. The agreement appears to apply to individuals who are managers or officers of a Crepe De Licious franchise, rather than directly to the franchisee entity itself. This distinction could have implications for enforcement and liability under the agreement.
Additionally, the FDD provides another definition of "Franchisee" within the context of another System Protection Agreement. In this instance, "Franchisee" means the Crepe de licious franchisee for which you are an employee, independent contractor, agent, representative, or supplier. This definition is important because it broadens the scope and applicability of the System Protection Agreement to include employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives or suppliers of the Crepe De Licious franchise.
