In what state was the Buildingstars Franchise Agreement accepted?

According to the 2025 Buildingstars Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement does not specify a particular state for acceptance. However, it does state that Buildingstars may institute any action arising out of or relating to the Agreement in any state or federal court of general jurisdiction in the State of Missouri. The franchisee irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and waives any objection to the application of Missouri law or to the jurisdiction or venue in those Missouri courts.

This means that while the agreement itself might not be formally "accepted" in a specific state, any legal actions related to the franchise agreement will likely be conducted under Missouri law and within Missouri courts. This could be a significant factor for a prospective franchisee to consider, as they may need to travel to Missouri for legal proceedings or hire legal representation familiar with Missouri law.

It is important for potential Buildingstars franchisees to understand that this clause dictates the legal venue and governing law for any disputes. While the franchisee operates their Buildingstars franchise in their own state, the legal framework for the agreement is centered in Missouri. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of this clause before signing the agreement.
