What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit 5 to the Franchise Agreement is removed in its entirety by the California amendment.
Exhibit 5 is the Franchise Disclosure Questionnaire. This means that prospective franchisees in California are not required to complete this questionnaire.
Additionally, the California amendment stipulates that any provision disclaiming representations made by Boulder Designs, reliance by a franchisee on those representations, reliance on the Franchise Disclosure Document, or violations of franchise law is void and unenforceable. This strengthens franchisee rights in California by preventing Boulder Designs from disclaiming responsibility for their statements or actions.
