What is the purpose of including the phrase 'relying on the document' in the Big Air Trampoline Park document?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the State-Specific Addendum to the Big Air Trampoline Park Franchise Disclosure Document and agreements applies only to individuals residing or operating a Big Air Trampoline Park business in specific states. The phrase 'relying on the document' is not explicitly mentioned, but the document does state that the addendum is applicable only to those persons specifically subject to the protections of the state laws referenced in this State-Specific Addendum. This suggests that the addendum's provisions are only relevant and enforceable to the extent that they align with and are required by the laws of the specific states listed.

For a prospective Big Air Trampoline Park franchisee, this means that the State-Specific Addendum may alter or supersede certain provisions of the standard Franchise Agreement, but only if those alterations are mandated by the franchisee's state laws. The listed states include California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota, Washington, Maryland, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Franchisees operating in states not listed in the addendum are not subject to its modifications.

It is important for potential Big Air Trampoline Park franchisees to carefully review the State-Specific Addendum in conjunction with the Franchise Agreement to understand how their state's laws affect their rights and obligations. They should also consult with a legal professional to ensure they fully understand the implications of these state-specific provisions. This ensures that franchisees are aware of any additional protections or requirements imposed by their state, and that they can make informed decisions about entering into the franchise agreement.
