What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement includes state-specific riders for Washington. These riders modify the standard franchise agreement to comply with Washington state laws.
Additionally, the FDD includes a compliance questionnaire that is not applicable to franchisees in Washington, along with several other states including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, and Wisconsin. This questionnaire is designed to confirm that the franchisee understands the terms of the contract and that no unauthorized statements or promises have been made, but Washington franchisees are exempt from completing it.
Prospective Beem Light Sauna franchisees in Washington should carefully review the state-specific riders to understand how the standard franchise agreement is modified in their state. They should also consult with a legal professional to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement as it applies in Washington.
