What This Means (2024 FDD)
Based on the 2024 Endless Summer Sweets Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit 3 outlines the Guaranty and Non-Compete Agreement. This agreement is executed by the Guarantor in favor of Endless Summer Sweets Franchising, Inc. The Guarantor owns an equity interest in the Franchisee and is executing the Guaranty to induce the Franchisor to enter into the Franchise Agreement.
Additionally, Section 3 of Exhibit 3 details covenants not to compete. During the term of the Franchise Agreement, the Guarantor cannot have any ownership interest in, lend money or provide financial assistance to, provide any services to, or be employed by any competitor. After the Franchise Agreement expires or is terminated, or after a Transfer by Guarantor, the Guarantor is restricted for two years from involvement with any Competitor within twenty-five (25) miles of the Franchisee's Territory or any other Endless Summer Sweets business.
These restrictions are designed to protect Endless Summer Sweets' business interests by preventing those with financial stakes in a franchise from supporting competing businesses, both during the franchise term and for a limited time afterward. A prospective franchisee should carefully review Exhibit 3 and understand the implications of the Guaranty and Non-Compete Agreement, especially regarding restrictions on their activities should they transfer their franchise or if the agreement is terminated.
