What is the definition of 'Anti-Terrorism Law' as it relates to a Bigfoot Forestry franchise?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term 'Anti-Terrorism Law' encompasses a range of legal mandates related to terrorism. It includes Executive Order 13224 issued by the President of the United States, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and all other present and future federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, policies, lists, orders, and requirements from any Governmental Authority that address or relate to terrorist acts and acts of war.

For a prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisee, this definition means that they must comply with all applicable anti-terrorism laws and regulations. This could involve ensuring that their business operations do not directly or indirectly support terrorist activities, adhering to financial regulations designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and cooperating with government authorities in any investigations related to terrorism.

The broad scope of this definition, including 'all other present and future' laws and regulations, means that franchisees must stay informed about changes in anti-terrorism legislation and adapt their business practices accordingly. Failure to comply with these laws could result in significant legal and financial penalties, as well as damage to the reputation of both the franchisee and the Bigfoot Forestry brand. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to ensure they fully understand and comply with all applicable anti-terrorism laws.
