If the Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Agreement and the addendum are inconsistent, which terms will govern?

According to the 2025 Beyond Juicery Eatery Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of inconsistencies between the Franchise Agreement and any addendum, the terms of the addendum will take precedence. This applies specifically to franchisees in Wisconsin, California, Indiana, New York, Hawaii, Illinois, and Washington, as indicated by the addenda for those states.

This means that any modifications, additions, or exceptions outlined in the addendum will override the original terms of the Franchise Agreement. For a prospective Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisee, this is crucial because the addendum often addresses specific state laws and regulations that may differ from the standard agreement. Franchisees should carefully review the addendum applicable to their state to understand their rights and obligations fully.

For example, the addenda often include clauses related to franchise termination, renewal, transfer, and dispute resolution, ensuring compliance with local laws. In some states, like Hawaii and Washington, the addendum explicitly states that certain sections of the Franchise Agreement are superseded by state franchise laws. Therefore, understanding the interplay between the Franchise Agreement and the state-specific addendum is essential for a franchisee to operate their Beyond Juicery Eatery business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
