What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Air Trampoline Park's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the State-Specific Addendum applies to individuals residing or operating Big Air Trampoline Businesses in specific states. The FDD lists California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota, Washington, Maryland, Ohio, and Wisconsin as states to which the addendum is applicable.
For prospective Big Air Trampoline Park franchisees, this means that if they reside or operate their business in one of the listed states, the State-Specific Addendum will be integrated into their Franchise Disclosure Document, Franchise Agreement, and Multi-Unit Development Agreement. This addendum modifies these core documents to comply with specific state laws, which can affect the franchisee's rights and obligations.
Specifically, the addendum addresses various legal aspects, such as consumer privacy in California, and unfair provisions prohibited in Michigan. For example, in Michigan, certain clauses related to franchisee associations, waivers of rights, termination conditions, and renewal compensation are void and unenforceable. Franchisees should carefully review the State-Specific Addendum to understand how it modifies the standard franchise agreements and what protections or obligations are unique to their state.
