What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crown Gold Exchange's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, to renew a franchise agreement, a franchisee must give advance notice to the franchisor. The FDD does not specify the exact amount of advance notice required.
In addition to providing advance notice, the franchisee must be in compliance with all contractual obligations to Crown Gold Exchange and third parties. The franchisee is also required to renovate to the franchisor's then-current standards and sign the then-current form of franchise agreement and related documents, including a personal guaranty. A general release must also be signed unless prohibited by applicable law.
The Crown Gold Exchange FDD states that if a franchisee continues to operate their franchise after the expiration of the term without a renewal agreement, the franchisor may either terminate the operation at any time or deem the agreement to have been renewed for an additional term.
Because the specific amount of advance notice is not specified in the FDD, prospective franchisees should ask Crown Gold Exchange for clarification on the required timeframe to ensure they meet all renewal requirements.
