What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Pearce Bespoke Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does supersede other terms in documents executed with the franchise, specifically regarding reliance on statements made by the franchisor or anyone acting on their behalf.
This means that any prior agreements, promises, or representations made outside of the formal Pearce Bespoke franchise agreement are not binding. The written franchise agreement is the final and complete expression of the agreement between Pearce Bespoke and the franchisee.
This clause protects Pearce Bespoke from claims based on verbal promises or statements made during the sales process that are not included in the written contract. It also prevents franchisees from claiming they relied on information not contained in the official documents. Prospective franchisees should ensure all important terms and conditions are included in the written franchise agreement before signing, as they cannot later rely on outside statements. This is a common clause in franchise agreements.
