What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery FDD, franchisees in certain states such as Indiana and New York will not be required to indemnify Beyond Juicery Eatery for liability imposed on them if they relied upon Beyond Juicery Eatery's required procedures or products, and used those procedures or products as required.
This amendment is specifically in recognition of the requirements of the Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Law, IC 23-2.2.7 and the Indiana Franchise Disclosure Law, IC 23-2-2-2.5, as well as the General Business Laws of the State of New York, Article 33, §§ 680 through 695. The franchise agreement is amended to reflect this, ensuring that franchisees are not held liable for issues arising from adherence to franchisor-mandated practices.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if Beyond Juicery Eatery requires the use of certain products or procedures, and the franchisee follows those requirements, the franchisee will not have to indemnify Beyond Juicery Eatery for any resulting liability in Indiana or New York. This provides a level of protection for franchisees who are simply following the franchisor's established system. Franchisees should confirm if these protections apply in their specific state and understand the conditions under which they are applicable.
