What is the governing principle if the terms of the Brightstar Care Franchise Agreement and this Addendum are inconsistent?

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an addendum may be created to amend the franchise agreement. If there are inconsistencies between the terms outlined in the Addendum and the original Franchise Agreement, the terms specified in the Addendum will take precedence and govern the relationship between Brightstar Care and the franchisee.

This clause ensures that any modifications or updates agreed upon in the Addendum are legally binding and supersede any conflicting terms in the original agreement. For a prospective Brightstar Care franchisee, this means carefully reviewing any addenda to understand how they alter the original franchise agreement.

It is essential for franchisees to fully understand the implications of any addendum, as its terms will dictate the operational and legal relationship with Brightstar Care in case of a conflict. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to review both the franchise agreement and any addenda before signing to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations.
