According to the 2025 FDD, the purpose of the 'Amendment' within the addendum to the Area Development Agreement for Beyond Juicery Eatery is to modify the original agreement. The addendum includes additional language that is considered an integral part of the agreement.
For example, the addendum for New York addresses the state's General Business Laws, modifying sections of the Area Development Agreement related to general releases, transfer of rights, and indemnification.

The addendum for Washington addresses the state's Franchise Investment Protection Act, modifying sections related to non-renewal, termination, transfer, litigation, arbitration, statute of limitations, and jury trial waivers.
These amendments are specific to the laws of certain states. The effectiveness of each provision within the amendment is contingent upon meeting the jurisdictional requirements of the relevant state law, independent of the amendment itself. In cases where inconsistencies arise between the terms of the Area Development Agreement and the addendum, the terms of the addendum will take precedence. This ensures that Beyond Juicery Eatery's franchise operations comply with the legal requirements of each specific state.
