According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is a specific rider to the Bft Franchise Agreement for use in North Dakota. This rider is annexed to and forms part of the Franchise Agreement and is included if an offer to sell the franchise was made in North Dakota, or if the franchisee is domiciled in North Dakota, or if the studio that the franchisee operates is or will be operated in North Dakota.

Several sections of the Franchise Agreement are modified by this rider for franchisees in North Dakota. These modifications address key aspects of the franchise relationship, including mediation, mandatory binding arbitration, consent to jurisdiction, waiver of punitive damages, waiver of jury trial, and waivers of class actions and limitations of actions. Specifically, the rider ensures that to the extent required by the North Dakota Franchise Investment Law, certain provisions of the Franchise Agreement are either supplemented or deleted to comply with North Dakota law.

For a prospective Bft franchisee in North Dakota, this rider is important because it tailors the standard Franchise Agreement to comply with North Dakota's specific franchise laws. This helps protect the franchisee's rights under North Dakota law, particularly concerning dispute resolution and waivers. Franchisees should carefully review this rider with legal counsel to understand how it modifies the standard agreement and what protections it provides under North Dakota law.
