According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement addresses conflicts with local law, specifically mentioning the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. The FDD states that Chapter 135 of the Wisconsin Statutes supersedes any conflicting provision within the Franchise Agreement. This means that if any part of the Beauty Bungalows Franchise Agreement clashes with Wisconsin law, the state law will take precedence, and the Franchise Agreement is amended accordingly for Wisconsin franchisees.

Additionally, the FDD notes that specific state addenda may be incorporated into the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement. If any terms in these addenda conflict with the Franchise Disclosure Document or Franchise Agreement, the terms of the addenda will supersede the terms of the Franchise Agreement. This ensures that franchisees in states with specific franchise laws or regulations are protected and that the franchise agreement complies with those local requirements.

This approach is fairly common in franchising, as franchise systems operate across various states, each with its own legal landscape. By acknowledging the supremacy of local laws and incorporating state-specific addenda, Beauty Bungalows aims to ensure compliance and protect both the franchisor and the franchisee from potential legal issues. Prospective franchisees should carefully review any state-specific addenda applicable to their location to understand their rights and obligations under local law.
