What exhibit in the Bath Tune Up disclosure document contains the agencies/agents for service of process?

According to the 2025 Bath Tune Up Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit E contains the list of agencies and agents for service of process. This exhibit includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of state agencies responsible for franchising disclosure/registration laws. It also lists these agencies as Bath Tune Up's agents for service of process, particularly in states where Bath Tune Up is registered.

In practical terms, Exhibit E provides crucial information for a Bath Tune Up franchisee. It identifies the specific entities authorized to receive legal notices on behalf of the franchisor. This is important because if a franchisee needs to serve legal papers to Bath Tune Up, they can refer to Exhibit E to ensure proper delivery to the correct agent or agency.

For instance, the FDD excerpt mentions that the list includes state agencies and other entities serving as agents for service of process. This ensures that franchisees have a reliable means of contacting Bath Tune Up for legal matters, especially in states where the franchise is registered. Additionally, the FDD mentions that if HFC KTU LLC does not deliver the disclosure document on time or if it contains a false or misleading statement, or a material omission, a violation of federal law and state law may have occurred and should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C. 20580 and the state agency listed on Exhibit I. However, the exhibit that contains the state agency to report to is Exhibit I, not Exhibit E.
