Under what grounds can a franchisee terminate the Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise agreement?

According to the 2025 Nothing Bundt Cakes Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can terminate the Development Rider under specific circumstances. The franchisee (or their Approved Affiliate) has the right to terminate the Development Rider if the First Franchise Agreement, or another franchise agreement between them and Nothing Bundt Cakes for a bakery, is terminated for any reason.

This means a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisee has the option to end the Development Rider, which outlines the development rights and obligations for opening multiple locations, if any franchise agreement between the franchisee and franchisor is terminated, regardless of the reason for that initial termination. This provides the franchisee with an exit option from further development commitments under the Rider.

It is important to note that this termination right applies specifically to the Development Rider and not necessarily the franchise agreement itself. The conditions under which a franchisee can terminate the franchise agreement may be different and are likely detailed elsewhere in the Franchise Disclosure Document. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the entire FDD and franchise agreement to understand all termination rights and obligations for both the franchise agreement and any related riders or agreements.
