Under what condition are Sections 22.G and H of the Apricot Lane Franchise Agreement deleted?

According to Apricot Lane's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Sections 22.G and H of the Franchise Agreement are deleted if required by the Minnesota Franchises Law. This means that if a prospective Apricot Lane franchisee is entering into an agreement governed by Minnesota law, these specific sections of the agreement will not be included.

Section 22 likely covers important legal terms, and subsections G and H likely address specific rights, responsibilities, or waivers related to legal claims or procedures. The deletion of these sections suggests that Minnesota law provides different or additional protections to franchisees that conflict with the standard terms Apricot Lane uses in its franchise agreement.

For a prospective franchisee, this is a notable benefit. Minnesota franchisees will not be subject to the provisions in Sections 22.G and H, and instead will have the protections afforded to them under Minnesota's franchise laws. It is important for potential franchisees in Minnesota to understand what rights they have under state law, and how those rights differ from the standard Apricot Lane franchise agreement.
