According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care FDD, Exhibit D contains a sample of the General Release Agreement. However, the excerpt provided does not specify whether the General Release Agreement covers both known and unknown claims. The document only indicates that the General Release does not apply to claims arising under the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act.

Because the FDD excerpt does not provide the specific details of what is covered in the General Release Agreement, it is important for a prospective Augusta Lawn Care franchisee to carefully review the full agreement with a legal professional. This will help ensure a complete understanding of the scope and implications of the release.

To fully understand the scope of the General Release, a prospective franchisee should ask Augusta Lawn Care for a complete copy of the agreement and clarification on whether it encompasses both known and unknown claims. Understanding this is crucial for assessing potential future liabilities and legal rights.
