What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Endless Summer Sweets Franchise Disclosure Document, Endless Summer Sweets, or its designee, has the right to enter the leased premises to remove signs and other branded materials under specific circumstances. This right is triggered upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement or the Lease, or the termination of the franchisee's right of possession of the Leased Premises.
However, Endless Summer Sweets must provide reasonable prior notice to the landlord before entering the premises for removal purposes. This prior notice requirement ensures that the landlord is informed and can prepare for the entry and removal process.
Endless Summer Sweets will be liable to the landlord for any damages caused by the removal of the signs and branded materials. This liability provision protects the landlord from any financial burden resulting from the removal process and encourages Endless Summer Sweets to conduct the removal carefully. This clause clarifies that Endless Summer Sweets is only responsible for damages caused during the removal process and does not assume broader liability related to the leased premises or the obligations of the tenant (franchisee) under the lease.
