Besides the modifications in the Addendum, what is the status of the rest of the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, the addenda for various states (New York, Maryland, Illinois) clarify the relationship between the standard Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement and specific state laws. These addenda address potential conflicts and ensure franchisee rights are protected under local regulations.

For instance, certain provisions in the standard agreement that might be inconsistent with state laws are amended to comply with those laws. This includes stipulations regarding releases, waivers, jurisdiction, venue, and rights upon termination or non-renewal. Some specific clauses within the agreement, such as Section 16.B, are deleted entirely in some state addenda.

However, the core principle across all these addenda is that the original Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement remains in effect unless explicitly modified by the addendum. This means that all other terms, conditions, and obligations outlined in the Franchise Agreement still apply to the franchisee, providing a consistent framework except where state-specific regulations necessitate changes.
