What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, if you are covered by the franchise law of a state specifically referenced in the state-specific addenda, then those addenda apply to your 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise agreement. The FDD includes state-specific changes for certain franchise registration states, and these are applicable only if you are covered by the franchise law of the referenced state.
For example, the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? FDD includes addenda for California, Minnesota, New York, Virginia, Rhode Island, Kansas, Maryland, Washington, and Wisconsin. These addenda contain modifications to the standard franchise agreement that may supersede certain portions of the agreement to the extent required by valid and applicable state law.
It is important for prospective 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisees to carefully review the state-specific addenda, if any apply to them based on their location, and to understand how these addenda modify the standard franchise agreement. Franchisees should also be aware that these modifications are only effective to the extent they are required by state law and only for as long as the state law remains in effect. The acknowledgement sections included in the addenda require signatures from both the franchisor and franchisee, confirming agreement that the state law addendum supersedes any inconsistent portions of the franchise agreement and franchise disclosure document.
