For Angry Chickz franchises, what is the statute of limitations for claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee in Maryland has three years to bring claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. This means that any lawsuit or legal action related to violations of this law must be initiated within three years from the date the franchise was granted.

This statute of limitations is important for prospective Angry Chickz franchisees in Maryland because it sets a clear deadline for pursuing legal remedies if they believe their rights under the Maryland Franchise Law have been violated. Failing to bring a claim within this three-year period could result in the franchisee losing their right to sue.

It is also specified that any limitations on the time for mediation or litigation cannot reduce the three-year statute of limitations provided to the franchisee under Maryland Franchise Law. This ensures that the franchisee has the full three years to bring claims, regardless of any other agreements or clauses that might suggest a shorter timeframe. This protection is further reinforced by stipulations preventing waivers or releases of liability under the Maryland Franchise Law, ensuring franchisees retain their legal rights.
