What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guaranty and Assumption of Developer's Obligations stipulates that the undersigned (guarantor) is bound by specific covenants within the Development Agreement. Specifically, the guarantor is responsible for ensuring the developer punctually pays and performs every undertaking, agreement, and covenant outlined in the Development Agreement. This means the guarantor is personally liable if the developer fails to meet their obligations.
The guarantor explicitly agrees to be bound by and personally liable for any breaches of the agreement's provisions. This includes, but is not limited to, the covenant not to compete, other restrictive covenants, confidentiality provisions, audit provisions, and indemnification provisions detailed within the Development Agreement.
Furthermore, the guarantor's liability remains in effect throughout the term of the Development Agreement, including any renewals. The guarantor's obligations are not diminished by any extensions of time, credit, or other allowances that Floyds 99 may grant to the developer. The guarantor also waives certain rights, such as requiring Floyds 99 to pursue action against the developer before seeking recourse from the guarantor.
