What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Remax will not be deemed to have made any warranties or guarantees if they provide any waiver, approval, consent, or suggestion in connection with the Franchise Agreement. This also applies if Remax neglects or delays their response or denies any request for any of those items.
This means that a franchisee cannot claim they relied on any warranty or guarantee from Remax based on these types of interactions. Remax is not assuming any liability or obligation to the franchisee in these situations. This protects Remax from potential legal claims based on informal communications or actions taken during the franchise relationship.
This type of disclaimer is common in franchise agreements. It ensures that all formal obligations are clearly defined in the written agreement, and that franchisees cannot later argue they were misled by informal suggestions or approvals. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the entire agreement and seek legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations.
