What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Washington Addendum is an integral part of the franchise agreement and modifies the Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement, and all related agreements. This addendum applies under the following conditions:
First, the Washington Addendum applies if the offer to sell an Alloy franchise is accepted within the state of Washington. This means that if a prospective franchisee receives and accepts the franchise offer while physically located in Washington, the addendum is applicable.
Second, the Washington Addendum applies if the purchaser of the Alloy franchise is a resident of Washington. This condition ensures that individuals who reside in Washington are protected by the state's franchise laws, regardless of where the franchise agreement is signed or where the business is located.
Third, the Washington Addendum applies if the franchised Alloy business is to be located or operated, either wholly or partly, within Washington. This ensures that any Alloy franchise operating within the state, even if the franchisee is not a resident, is subject to Washington's franchise regulations.
