In the context of the Fast Fix Jewelry And Watch Repairs FDD, what do the terms 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' refer to?

According to Fast Fix Jewelry And Watch Repairs's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' are used to refer to Jewelry Repair Enterprises, Inc., which is the franchisor. This is a common practice in franchise disclosure documents to simplify the language and clearly identify the franchisor entity. The terms 'you' and 'your' refer to the person who is buying the franchise, also known as the franchisee. If the franchisee is a business entity such as a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company, 'you' also includes the franchisee's owners, who must agree to be bound by the contracts listed in Item 22 of the FDD.

This definition is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies who is making the statements and promises within the FDD and the franchise agreement. When reading through the document, any statement using 'we,' 'us,' or 'our' should be understood as a direct statement or obligation of Jewelry Repair Enterprises, Inc. This helps to avoid confusion and ensures that franchisees understand their relationship with the specific legal entity that is granting the franchise.

For example, when the FDD states, 'Our principal place of business is 6413 Congress Avenue, Suite 240, Boca Raton, Florida 33487,' it means that the principal business address of Jewelry Repair Enterprises, Inc. is in Boca Raton, Florida. Similarly, when the FDD mentions, 'You will operate your Service Center as an independent business using the Marks, the System, the information in the Manual, and the support, guidance and other methods and materials we provide,' the 'we' refers to the support, guidance, and materials provided by Jewelry Repair Enterprises, Inc. to the franchisee.
