What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to LearningRx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Guarantors jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee the Area Developer's full performance under the Area Developer Agreement's terms, covenants, and conditions. This includes compliance with confidentiality, protection of confidential information, adherence to noncompete provisions, and fulfillment of all terms in any agreements the Area Developer executes to open and operate a LearningRx center.
This guarantee extends to the complete and prompt payment of all indebtedness to LearningRx under the Area Developer Agreement. The term "indebtedness" is broadly defined to include all advances, debts, obligations, and liabilities, whether current or future, voluntary or involuntary, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and regardless of any statute of limitations or unenforceability.
The obligations of the Guarantors are independent of the Area Developer's obligations, meaning LearningRx can pursue action against the Guarantors without first pursuing action against the Area Developer. LearningRx is not obligated to verify the Area Developer's authority or power, and any obligation or indebtedness created in reliance on such authority is guaranteed. If the Guarantors are corporations, LLCs, or partnerships, it is presumed that they have the authority to bind the entity and that acting as Guarantor benefits the entity.
