What section of the Beem Light Sauna Franchise Agreement is deleted and replaced by the Illinois Rider?

According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 16.1 of the Franchise Agreement, concerning governing law, is deleted and replaced by the Illinois Rider. For franchisees operating a Beem Light Sauna studio in Illinois, or who are domiciled in Illinois, the Illinois Rider supersedes the original section regarding which state's laws govern the agreement. Instead of the original provision, Illinois law will govern the agreement, except to the extent governed by the Federal Arbitration Act or other federal law. This change ensures that Illinois franchisees have their franchise agreements interpreted under Illinois law, providing a potentially more familiar and predictable legal environment. This could be advantageous for Illinois franchisees as it aligns the legal framework with their local jurisdiction.
