What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 All County Franchise Disclosure Document, Article 25.14 of the franchise agreement is amended for franchises located in Maryland. This amendment allows franchisees to bring a lawsuit in Maryland for claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law.

This modification ensures that All County franchisees in Maryland have the right to pursue legal action within their own state regarding franchise law violations. It also clarifies that franchisees are not required to litigate such matters in a different jurisdiction, which could be more costly and inconvenient.

Additionally, Article 25.17 is amended to specify that any claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law must be brought within 3 years after the grant of the Franchise Agreement. This sets a clear statute of limitations for legal claims related to Maryland franchise law, providing a defined timeframe for franchisees to take action.
