Under what conditions will each provision of the amendment to the Belocal franchise agreement be effective?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the effectiveness of each provision within the amendment to the franchise agreement is contingent upon meeting specific jurisdictional requirements. For franchisees in Indiana, Virginia, South Dakota, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, each provision of the amendment will only be effective if the jurisdictional requirements of that state's law applicable to the provision are met independently of the amendment itself. If these jurisdictional requirements are not satisfied, the amendment will have no force or effect.

For example, the amendment to the N2 Franchising, Inc. Franchise Agreement for the state of North Dakota states that each provision of the amendment will be effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of North Dakota Law are met independently without reference to this Amendment.

This condition ensures that the amendment's provisions comply with local laws and regulations, providing a layer of protection for the franchisee. Prospective Belocal franchisees should consult with a legal professional to ensure full compliance with their state's specific jurisdictional requirements, as these requirements must be met for the amendment to be effective and enforceable.
