Under what conditions can the Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Agreement be modified?

According to the 2025 Marble Slab Creamery Franchise Disclosure Document, the conditions under which the Franchise Agreement can be modified depend on the specific agreement type. For the standard Franchise Agreement, Section 20 states that modifications require mutual written consent from both Marble Slab Creamery and the franchisee, except for changes that Marble Slab Creamery can make unilaterally.

For the Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement, Section 10.10 specifies that modifications must be in writing and signed by both Marble Slab Creamery and the franchisee. This ensures that any changes to the agreement are formally documented and agreed upon by both parties, providing clarity and legal enforceability.

In contrast, the Management Agreement has a different modification clause. Section 7.12 states that no amendment is valid unless signed by Marble Slab Creamery or its affiliate. This means that the franchisee does not have the same level of input or control over modifications to the Management Agreement as they do with the Franchise Agreement or Multi-Unit Restaurant Agreement. For the LLC Operating Agreement, Section 11.3 states that no amendment is valid unless signed by all members, but additional members may be admitted with the consent of more than 75% of the percentage interests.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review which agreement applies to their specific situation and understand the implications of these modification clauses. It is important to note the differences in how each agreement can be altered, as this affects the franchisee's rights and obligations during the term of the franchise.
