What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, state-specific addendums to the disclosure document are included as Exhibit “D”. These addendums may contain modifications or clarifications to the standard franchise agreement or disclosure document to comply with specific state laws. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit D to understand any state-specific requirements that may affect their All County franchise.
These state-specific addenda can cover a variety of topics, including but not limited to dispute resolution, choice of law, and other legal considerations. It is important to note that the franchise agreement and disclosure document are subject to applicable state law, and the state-specific addenda are designed to address any conflicts or inconsistencies between the standard agreement and state law.
By providing these addenda, All County aims to ensure that franchisees are fully informed of their rights and obligations under both the franchise agreement and applicable state laws. Reviewing these addenda is a crucial step in the due diligence process for any prospective franchisee, as it can help them understand the legal landscape in their specific state and make informed decisions about their investment.
