Based on the 2024 Afuri Ramen Dumpling Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit L includes a state law addendum for California. This addendum specifies that the registration of the franchise offering by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation does not constitute an endorsement or approval by the commissioner.

Furthermore, the addendum emphasizes that California's Franchise Investment Law requires that all proposed agreements related to the sale of the franchise must be delivered along with the disclosure document. It also includes a disclaimer about the Afuri Ramen Dumpling website, stating that it has not been reviewed or approved by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and provides contact information for complaints regarding the website's content.

This information is crucial for prospective franchisees in California as it highlights specific legal requirements and disclaimers pertinent to franchise operations within the state. While this addendum addresses California-specific regulations, the document does not specify which state's laws govern the overall franchise agreement. A prospective franchisee should consult the full franchise agreement and seek legal counsel to determine the governing law.
