What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the BrightStar Franchising, LLC Agency Franchise Agreement becomes effective on the date that Brightstar Care signs the addendum. The addendum is made and entered into as of the "Execution Date" by and between Brightstar Franchising, LLC and the franchisee.
This means that the franchisee is bound by the terms of the addendum from the date Brightstar Care officially approves and signs it. The "Execution Date" marks when both parties agree to the terms, but the "Effective Date" is when the agreement is formally in force.
Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to this distinction, as their obligations and rights under the addendum begin once Brightstar Care signs, regardless of when the franchisee signed. It is important to confirm the exact "Effective Date" with Brightstar Care to avoid any misunderstandings about when the addendum's provisions take effect.
