What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz FDD, the Virginia addendum to the franchise agreement is executed under specific conditions related to the offer, sale, or location of a franchise within the state. This addendum is integrated into the franchise agreement and is triggered if (A) the offer or sale of a franchise was made in Virginia, (B) the franchisee is a resident of Virginia, or (C) the franchised business will be located in Virginia.
This addendum also stipulates that the payment of initial franchise fees is deferred until Angry Chickz has met its pre-opening obligations and the franchisee's Angry Chickz business is open to the public. Furthermore, any statement, questionnaire, or acknowledgment signed by the franchisee cannot waive claims under Virginia franchise law, including fraud, or disclaim reliance on statements made by Angry Chickz or its representatives. This provision takes precedence over any conflicting terms in other documents related to the franchise agreement.
In essence, the Virginia addendum ensures that franchisees operating in Virginia receive certain protections and considerations under Virginia law. It also modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with the Virginia Retail Franchising Act, particularly regarding termination clauses and franchisee rights. This addendum provides additional disclosures and amendments to specific items within the franchise disclosure document to align with Virginia's legal requirements.
