According to the 2025 Brueggers Bagels Franchise Disclosure Document, the Indiana addendum applies to both Franchise Agreements and License Agreements. The document states that the addendum is applicable when both the Franchisor and Franchisee have signed either a Franchise Agreement or a License Agreement for a franchise located in Indiana. This addendum is designed to reflect specific provisions of Indiana law that affect the franchise relationship.

Specifically, the Indiana addendum addresses several aspects of the franchise relationship to ensure compliance with Indiana law. These include restrictions on requiring franchisees to purchase goods exclusively from the franchisor if comparable quality goods are available elsewhere, limitations on the franchisor's ability to establish competing outlets within the franchisee's exclusive territory, and stipulations against substantial modifications of the franchise agreement without the franchisee's written consent. The addendum also covers conditions for franchise termination and renewal, non-compete covenants, and advertising requirements.

For a prospective Brueggers Bagels franchisee in Indiana, this means that the franchise agreement or license agreement will be modified by the addendum to comply with Indiana law. Franchisees should carefully review the addendum to understand their rights and obligations under Indiana law, particularly regarding purchasing requirements, territorial protections, and termination conditions. If there are inconsistencies between the standard agreement and the Indiana Code, the provisions of the Indiana Code will take precedence. The addendum is effective only if the Franchise Agreement or License Agreement satisfies all jurisdictional requirements of the Indiana Code.
