To whom should violations regarding the Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document be reported?

According to the 2024 Bevaris Alliance Franchise Disclosure Document, in California, complaints concerning the content of the website may be directed to the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) at their website, https://dfpi.ca.gov. This is specific to the content found on the Bevaris Alliance website and not necessarily all violations related to the FDD.

This information is included as part of the state-specific addenda for California, meaning it only applies to franchisees operating or planning to operate in California. The California Franchise Investment Law requires that Bevaris Alliance provide a disclosure document approved by the Commissioner of Financial Protection and Innovation before asking a franchisee to consider a material modification of their franchise agreement.

Prospective franchisees should note that the registration of the franchise offering by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation does not constitute approval, recommendation, or endorsement by the Commissioner. This means that while the franchise is registered in California, the state does not guarantee its success or viability. If a prospective franchisee has concerns about potential violations of franchise law or the FDD, they should consult with a legal professional experienced in franchise law.
