Does the Maryland Addendum modify the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement in any way other than what is expressly stated?

According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maryland Addendum to the Franchise Agreement explicitly states that it only modifies the agreement as expressly outlined within the addendum itself. Specifically, paragraph 5 of the addendum states that, except for the modifications explicitly mentioned in the addendum, the original Franchise Agreement remains in full force and effect. This means that all other provisions of the Franchise Agreement not specifically addressed in the Maryland Addendum remain unchanged and binding.

For a prospective Kitchen Solvers franchisee in Maryland, this clause provides clarity and assurance that the core terms of the Franchise Agreement are not altered beyond what is explicitly stated in the addendum. The addendum addresses specific legal considerations related to Maryland franchise law, such as waivers, lawsuits, and statutes of limitations.

It is important for a potential Kitchen Solvers franchisee to carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and the Maryland Addendum to understand their rights and obligations fully. This ensures that the franchisee is aware of any specific modifications or protections afforded to them under Maryland law while also adhering to the standard terms of the franchise agreement. Understanding this clause helps manage expectations and ensures compliance with both the franchise agreement and Maryland state law.
