If the Amorino disclosure document contains a false statement, what may have occurred?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the disclosure document contains a false or misleading statement, or a material omission, a violation of federal and state law may have occurred. Amorino is required to provide the disclosure document to prospective franchisees 14 calendar days before they sign a binding agreement or make a payment to Amorino. New York law requires Amorino to provide this document at the earlier of the first personal meeting or ten business days before the execution of the franchise agreement or the payment of any consideration related to the franchise relationship.

This violation should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. and any other applicable state agency for the franchisee's state, as listed in Exhibit A of the FDD. The disclosure document summarizes provisions of the franchise agreement and other information.

It is important for a prospective franchisee to read the disclosure document and all agreements carefully. They must also receive a franchise agreement containing all material terms at least five business days before signing the franchise agreement.
