What are the Aerus websites mentioned in the California addendum?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the California addendum mentions two websites: www.aerusonline.com and www.beyondbyaerus.com. The addendum explicitly states that these websites have not been reviewed or approved by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. It also provides the contact information for the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, directing any complaints regarding the website content to dfpi.ca.gov.

This disclaimer is important for prospective Aerus franchisees in California because it highlights that the state's regulatory body has not assessed the information presented on these websites. This means that the franchisee should not rely solely on the content of these websites when making investment decisions. It is a common practice for franchise systems to have disclaimers in state addenda regarding website approval, as franchise laws vary significantly from state to state.

For a potential franchisee, this information underscores the need to conduct thorough due diligence and seek independent verification of any claims made on the Aerus and Beyond by Aerus websites. It would be prudent to contact existing franchisees, consult with a franchise attorney, and carefully review all aspects of the Franchise Disclosure Document before making a final decision. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation is available as a resource for addressing concerns about the website content.
