What This Means (2025 FDD)

This instruction is part of an addendum specific to Maryland, indicating that certain provisions in the standard franchise agreement do not apply or are modified to comply with Maryland franchise law. This type of state-specific addendum is common in franchising to address legal variations across different states.

This highlights the importance of carefully reviewing any state-specific addenda provided with the FDD, as these amendments can significantly alter the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement.
