What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Virginia addendum to the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Disclosure Document may supersede certain portions of the Franchise Agreement. This is only to the extent required by valid applicable state law. This supersession is only for as long as the state law remains in effect.
Specifically, the addendum states that no statement, questionnaire, or acknowledgment signed by a franchisee can waive claims under state franchise law, including fraud in the inducement. It also prevents disclaiming reliance on statements made by 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, its sellers, or representatives. This particular provision overrides any other conflicting term in any document related to the franchise agreement.
The acknowledgment section of the addendum reiterates that the state law addendum supersedes any inconsistent part of the Franchise Agreement and the Franchise Disclosure Document. However, this is limited to the extent that the state laws are valid and enforceable and only while the state law is in effect. This means that the standard franchise agreement and FDD are generally in force, except where specific Virginia laws dictate otherwise, offering additional protection to franchisees within that state.
