Under what conditions can the Del Taco agreement be modified or amended?

According to the 2025 Del Taco Franchise Disclosure Document, any modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision within the franchise agreement must be formalized in writing. Both Del Taco and the franchisee must mutually execute this written agreement for it to be considered effective.

This requirement for written and mutually executed modifications is a standard practice in franchising. It ensures that all parties are in clear agreement regarding any changes to the original contract, preventing misunderstandings or disputes that could arise from verbal agreements or unilateral changes. This protects both Del Taco and the franchisee by providing a clear record of any agreed-upon modifications.

The clause also explicitly states that no other form of agreement, whether oral or otherwise, can supersede the original agreement. This reinforces the importance of adhering to the written terms and conditions outlined in the franchise agreement, providing a stable and predictable framework for the franchise relationship. Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to this clause, ensuring that any discussions or understandings reached during the negotiation phase are properly documented and incorporated into the final written agreement to avoid future discrepancies.
