According to the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, if Ledgers has to sue a franchisee to enforce the franchise agreement, the franchisee waives any requirement that Ledgers post a bond to obtain a temporary or permanent injunction. This waiver applies to enforcing duties outlined in the agreement.

In practical terms, this means that if Ledgers believes a franchisee is violating the agreement (for example, by operating a competing business during the restricted period), Ledgers can more easily obtain a court order (injunction) to stop the franchisee's actions without having to put up a bond. A bond is a sum of money a party may be required to deposit with the court, which could be forfeited if they lose the case and the other party suffers damages as a result of the injunction.

By waiving the bond requirement, the franchisee is essentially making it less financially risky for Ledgers to pursue legal action to enforce the agreement. This could make it easier and faster for Ledgers to obtain an injunction against a franchisee, as Ledgers doesn't have to tie up its capital in a bond. This clause is generally favorable to the franchisor, Ledgers, as it lowers the bar for them to seek injunctive relief.

It is important for a prospective Ledgers franchisee to understand the implications of this waiver. While it may seem like a minor clause, it could have significant financial consequences if the franchisee is ever in a dispute with Ledgers and the franchisor seeks an injunction. The franchisee should consider this clause carefully and seek legal advice to fully understand its potential impact.
