What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moe's Southwest Grill FDD, before entering into a Franchise Agreement, a prospective franchisee must acknowledge that they have not received any unauthorized or misleading statements or promises from Moe's Franchisor SPV LLC. The franchisee must also confirm they have been properly represented in the transaction and understand the limitations on claims related to the franchise purchase and operation.
Specifically, the franchisee cannot sign the acknowledgement form on the same day they receive the Franchise Disclosure Document. However, they must sign and date the acknowledgement on the same day they sign the Franchise Agreement and pay the franchise fee.
If a franchisee finds any statement in the acknowledgement to be inaccurate or untrue, they must stop signing the document and immediately notify Tim Goodman, Senior Vice President of Franchise Administration, via email, explaining the reason for their belief. This process ensures that both parties are in agreement and that the franchisee is fully aware of the terms and conditions before finalizing the agreement.
