What are the potential consequences for a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisee who violates health codes?

According to Nothing Bundt Cakes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to comply with any law or regulation applicable to the Bakery, and does not correct this within fifteen (15) calendar days after being notified by government authorities, it can be considered a breach of the franchise agreement.

This non-compliance could lead to the termination of the franchise agreement. Specifically, the FDD states that if a franchisee fails to comply with laws or regulations within 15 calendar days of notification, it constitutes grounds for termination. This means that a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisee must maintain strict adherence to all health codes and other applicable laws to avoid jeopardizing their franchise.

Additionally, Nothing Bundt Cakes states they have no responsibility to ensure that the Bakery is developed and operated in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations, and that they shall have no liability in the event the development or operation of the Bakery violates any law, ordinance or regulation. The franchisee is solely responsible for the bakery's compliance.
