What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement to align with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. This law is relevant to franchise agreements within the state and focuses on protecting dealers (franchisees) from unfair termination, cancellation, nonrenewal, or significant changes in their competitive circumstances without justifiable cause.
Specifically, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law mandates that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? must provide a 90-day prior written notice to a franchisee before any proposed termination or cancellation of the franchise agreement. This notice period allows the franchisee an opportunity to address and rectify the issues that led to the termination notice.
If the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisee successfully cures the deficiency within 60 days of receiving the notice, the notice of termination becomes void. This means the franchise agreement remains in effect, and the franchisee can continue operating their 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business. This provision offers significant protection to franchisees in Wisconsin, ensuring they have a fair chance to resolve any issues before facing termination.
