According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to Desi District that the Franchisee will pay and perform every undertaking, agreement, and covenant outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This guarantee extends to every other liability and obligation the Franchisee owes to Desi District, regardless of whether it's specifically mentioned in the Franchise Agreement. In short, the Guarantor is on the hook for all of the Franchisee's debts and responsibilities to Desi District.
The Guarantor must make any payment or provide any performance required under the Franchise Agreement or any other agreement between the Franchisee and Desi District upon demand from Desi District. This means that if the Franchisee fails to meet their obligations, Desi District can immediately turn to the Guarantor for fulfillment without first having to pursue the Franchisee.

The Guarantor also waives any right to require Desi District to first take action against the Franchisee before pursuing the Guarantor. This comprehensive waiver strengthens Desi District's position, ensuring they can seek recourse directly from the Guarantor without procedural delays or legal defenses. The Guarantor also agrees to adhere to all security procedures prescribed by Desi District Franchise Group for maintaining confidentiality.
