How does the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law affect the Bigfoot Forestry Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law impacts the franchise agreement. Chapter 135 of the Wisconsin Statutes supersedes any conflicting provision within the Franchise Agreement and Supplemental Agreements. Consequently, the Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement, and any Supplemental Agreements are amended to comply with Wisconsin law.

This means that if any part of the standard Bigfoot Forestry franchise agreement clashes with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, the state law takes precedence. This is designed to protect franchisees in Wisconsin, ensuring that the terms of their agreement adhere to the state's specific legal requirements for fair dealing between franchisors and franchisees.

For a prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisee in Wisconsin, this addendum provides an additional layer of protection. It is important to carefully review both the standard franchise agreement and the Wisconsin addendum to fully understand your rights and obligations under both documents. If there are discrepancies, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, as reflected in the addendum, will govern.
