What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and regulations, regardless of any advice or information provided by the franchisor. This includes, but is not limited to, laws concerning health, safety, employee practices, and advertising.
Crepe De Licious emphasizes that franchisees should consult with a legal advisor to ensure full compliance with all relevant legal requirements. This is a standard practice in franchising, as laws and regulations can vary significantly by location and industry, and it is the franchisee's responsibility to operate their business in accordance with these laws.

Prospective franchisees should be aware of this and take proactive steps to understand and comply with all relevant laws and regulations, including seeking independent legal counsel.
