Does the Boulder Designs franchise agreement prevent Boulder Designs from seeking injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction?

According to the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does not prevent Boulder Designs from seeking injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. The FDD states that the franchisee cannot prevent Boulder Designs from obtaining injunctive relief. This means that Boulder Designs retains the right to pursue legal action, including seeking court orders to stop a franchisee from violating the franchise agreement.

This provision is generally included to protect Boulder Designs's brand, trade secrets, and overall business interests. Injunctive relief is a powerful legal tool that can quickly halt activities that could cause immediate and irreparable harm to the franchise system. For example, if a franchisee violates a non-compete agreement or misuses confidential information, Boulder Designs can seek an injunction to stop the harmful behavior immediately.

However, the FDD also includes amendments for specific states like North Dakota, which may limit the enforceability of certain provisions, including those related to non-compete agreements. Therefore, the ability of Boulder Designs to obtain injunctive relief may be affected by state-specific laws and regulations. Prospective franchisees should consult with legal counsel to understand the specific implications of these provisions in their state.
