In the event of conflicting laws, which law prevails for an Angry Chickz franchise?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific laws that prevail in the event of a conflict depend on the state where the franchise is located. For instance, if the offer to sell a franchise is accepted in Washington, if the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington, or if the franchised business is to be located or operated in Washington, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act will prevail in the event of a conflict of laws.

Similarly, for franchisees in Illinois, the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act and other laws of Illinois take precedence. Specifically, any condition, stipulation, or provision that attempts to bind a person acquiring a franchise to waive compliance with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act or any other law of Illinois is considered void.

These stipulations are crucial for prospective Angry Chickz franchisees as they clarify that state-specific franchise laws are designed to protect their rights and interests, and these laws will supersede conflicting terms in the franchise agreement. Franchisees should be aware of the specific protections afforded to them by the laws of their state.
