What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the guarantor of a Crown Gold Exchange franchise agreement waives certain rights and notices related to the guarantee. Specifically, the guarantor waives acceptance and notice of acceptance by Crown Gold Franchising of the guaranty. This means that Crown Gold Franchising does not need to formally notify the guarantor that their guarantee is accepted for it to be effective.
Additionally, the guarantor waives notice of demand for payment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligations of the franchisee. This implies that Crown Gold Franchising is not obligated to inform the guarantor if the franchisee fails to make payments or fulfill their obligations under the franchise agreement. The guarantor also waives protest and notice of default to any party regarding the guaranteed indebtedness or nonperformance.
Furthermore, the guarantor gives up any right to require Crown Gold Franchising to first bring an action against the franchisee or any other person or entity before seeking recourse from the guarantor. The guarantor also waives all rights to payments and claims for reimbursement or subrogation against the franchisee arising from their performance under the guaranty. Finally, the guarantor waives any legal requirement that Crown Gold Franchising must first demand payment from, assert claims against, or take action against the franchisee before pursuing the guarantor. The guarantor also waives any and all other notices and legal or equitable defenses to which the guarantor may be entitled.
