If a law conflicts with the Bigfoot Forestry agreement, which terms govern?

According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry FDD, if any applicable law imposes mandatory terms that conflict with the franchise agreement, the terms required by such law will govern, but only to the extent of the inconsistency. This means that Bigfoot Forestry franchisees must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, and where those laws differ from the franchise agreement, the law takes precedence.

This provision ensures that franchisees are not put in a position where they are forced to violate the law in order to comply with the franchise agreement. It also protects the franchisee from potential legal repercussions that could arise from following the agreement in contradiction to local, state, or federal laws.

However, it's important to note that the legal terms only govern "to the extent of the inconsistency." All other aspects of the Bigfoot Forestry franchise agreement remain in full effect. Franchisees should consult with a legal professional to understand the specific laws applicable to their business and how they interact with the franchise agreement.
