Am I required to disclose my state of residence when considering a Beem Light Sauna franchise?

According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are considering a Beem Light Sauna franchise, you may be required to complete a compliance questionnaire before signing the franchise agreement. However, this questionnaire is not applicable if the offer or sale of the franchise is subject to state franchise disclosure laws in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, or Wisconsin.

For those states, the FDD includes additional state-required disclosures and riders that address specific legal requirements within those jurisdictions. These additional disclosures ensure that franchisees in those states are aware of their rights and protections under state franchise laws. These disclosures also confirm that no statement, questionnaire, or acknowledgement signed by you will waive any claims under applicable state franchise law, including fraud in the inducement, or disclaim reliance on any statement made by Beem Light Sauna.

Therefore, whether you need to disclose your state of residence via the questionnaire depends on whether your state has franchise disclosure laws. If you reside in one of the listed states (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, or Wisconsin), the questionnaire is not required. However, the FDD includes state-specific disclosures that apply to you. If you reside outside of these states, you may need to complete the compliance questionnaire.
