Crisp_Green Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
3.01 Site Acceptance Disclaimer. You acknowledge and agree that, if we suggest, approve, or give you information regarding a site for the Premises or a Crisp & Go Location, our action is not a representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, of the site's suitability for a Restaurant, Crisp & Go Location, or any other purpose. We do not represent that we, or any of our Affiliates, owners, employees or agents, have special expertise in selecting sites. Our action indicates only that we believe that the site meets our then acceptable criteria and not that the Franchised Restaurant will be profitable or
successful at the Premises. Applying criteria that have appeared effective with other sites and premises might not accurately reflect the potential for all sites and premises, and demographic and/or other factors included in or excluded from our criteria could change, altering the potential of a site and premises. The uncertainty and instability of these criteria are beyond our control, and we are not responsible if a site and premises we suggest or approve for the location of a Restaurant fails to meet your expectations. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that your acceptance of the franchise for a Restaurant pursuant to this Agreement is based on your own independent investigation of the site's suitability for the Premises.
In consideration of our acceptance of the Premises, you and your Principal Owners release us, and our Affiliates, managers, officers, directors, governors, employees and agents from any and all loss, damage and liability arising from or in connection with the selection and/or acceptance of the Premises for development as a Restaurant.
