What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, Crepe De Licious can unilaterally modify the terms of the franchise agreement under specific conditions. Crepe De Licious can modify the agreement by providing written notice to the franchisee.
Crepe De Licious can limit the scope of prohibited activities, narrow the definition of a competitive business, shorten the duration of the restricted period, reduce the geographic scope of the restricted territory, and/or reduce the scope of any other covenant imposed upon the franchisee under the agreement. These modifications ensure that the terms and covenants in the agreement are enforceable under applicable law.
This clause gives Crepe De Licious the power to adjust the agreement to ensure its enforceability.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this unilateral modification clause and seek legal advice to understand its potential impact on their investment and business operations.
