What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1 800 Packouts Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Rider" refers to a specific addendum to the standard franchise agreement that is applicable when the franchise is operated in Washington state, or when the franchisee is a resident of Washington, or when the franchise was offered or sold in Washington. This rider is made between the franchisee and 1-800-Packouts Holdco, LLC, the franchisor, as of the agreement date stated in the Franchise Agreement. The rider is annexed to and forms part of the Franchise Agreement.
The Rider is included to address the requirements of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act. It modifies the Franchise Agreement to ensure compliance with Washington state laws, particularly concerning termination and renewal of the franchise. The rider states that Washington state law (RCW 19.100.180) and court decisions might supersede the original agreement in regards to the franchisee's relationship with 1 800 Packouts.
Furthermore, in case of conflicting laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW, will take precedence. This ensures that franchisees operating in Washington are protected by the specific legal provisions of the state, which may offer different or additional rights compared to the standard franchise agreement.
