Where can I find the complete provisions of the Franchise Agreement mentioned in the Southern Steer FDD?

According to Southern Steer's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 17 provides a table summarizing key provisions within the Franchise Agreement and related agreements. To review the complete provisions of the Franchise Agreement, a prospective franchisee should read the agreements attached to the Disclosure Document. This is important because the summary in the table is not exhaustive, and the actual legal agreements will contain the full, legally binding terms.

It is standard franchise industry practice to include the full franchise agreement as an exhibit to the FDD. This allows potential franchisees to carefully review all the terms and conditions before making a decision. The table in Item 17 serves as a helpful overview, but it is crucial to consult the complete agreement for a thorough understanding of your rights and obligations as a Southern Steer franchisee.

Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to details such as termination conditions, renewal options, transfer rights, and dispute resolution processes within the Franchise Agreement. Understanding these provisions is essential for navigating the franchise relationship and protecting your investment. Consulting with a franchise attorney to review the Franchise Agreement is also advisable.
