Does the Itan franchise agreement confer rights or remedies upon any person not a party to the agreement?

According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies to anyone who is not a party to the agreement.

This means that only Itan and the franchisee have rights and obligations under the agreement. Third parties cannot claim any benefits or enforce any provisions of the agreement. This is a standard clause in franchise agreements, designed to protect the franchisor and franchisee from claims by outside parties who might try to assert rights based on the agreement's terms.

However, it is important to note that there may be exceptions to this general rule. For example, if Itan or the franchisee were to assign their rights under the agreement to a third party, that third party would then have the right to enforce the agreement. Additionally, a landlord may have rights under the lease agreement as described in the FDD.
