What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the BrightStar Franchising, LLC Agency Franchise Agreement is preceded by a Franchise Agreement. The addendum modifies the original agreement.
Specifically, the recitals state that the parties entered into a BrightStar Franchising, LLC Agency Franchise Agreement, granting the franchisee the right to operate a BrightStar Care Agency at a specific location. The Addendum serves to amend the original Franchise Agreement, indicating a change or update to the initial terms and conditions.
In the event of inconsistencies between the Addendum and the Franchise Agreement, the terms outlined in the Addendum will take precedence. This ensures that the most current and updated terms govern the relationship between Brightstar Care and the franchisee. This type of addendum is common in franchising to allow for changes to the original agreement without requiring a completely new contract.
