According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the general release will be interpreted under Colorado law. The Release is made between BOR Franchising, LLC, which is a Colorado limited liability company authorized to do business in Colorado, the Franchisee, and the Guarantor. This means that any disputes related to the Release's interpretation or enforcement will likely be governed by Colorado's legal principles.

For a prospective Bor Restoration franchisee, this implies that familiarity with Colorado law could be beneficial, especially concerning contract interpretation and business law. While the franchisee's business operations may be located in another state, the governing law for this specific Release is predetermined. This is a common practice in franchising, where the franchisor's state law often governs the franchise agreement and related documents.

However, an addendum exists for franchisees in Maryland. This addendum stipulates that certain covenants, including the general release, do not apply to liability under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. It also allows franchisees to bring lawsuits in Maryland for claims under this law, which must be initiated within three years of the franchise grant. Furthermore, any representations requiring franchisees to waive liability are not effective as waivers under Maryland franchise law. This addendum supersedes any conflicting terms in the franchise agreement, ensuring that Maryland franchisees retain their rights under state law.
