What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, the effectiveness of each provision within the amendment to the 360 Painting Franchise Agreement is contingent upon meeting the jurisdictional requirements of the relevant state laws independently, without relying on the amendment itself. This condition applies specifically to franchisees in Indiana, New York, and Virginia.
For Indiana, each provision of the amendment will be effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Indiana Franchise Disclosure Law and the Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Act are met independently. Similarly, for New York, each provision of the amendment will be effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of the New York General Business Law are met independently. For Virginia, the provisions of the amendment will be effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Virginia Retail Franchising Act are met independently.
This means that the amendments are designed to ensure compliance with state-specific franchise laws. The provisions of the amendment will only apply if they align with and are supported by the existing legal framework in each state, ensuring that franchisees receive the protections and rights afforded to them under those laws. This approach prevents the amendment from being used to circumvent or undermine state franchise regulations.
