What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document for C12 Group does not contain specific details regarding contract indemnifications. While Item 22 lists the contracts, including franchise agreements and addenda for specific states like North Dakota and Washington, the excerpts focus on general terms, dispute resolution, and adherence to state laws.
Specifically, the North Dakota addendum addresses stipulations related to arbitration/mediation location, court jurisdiction, governing law, and jury trial waivers, ensuring compliance with North Dakota Franchise Investment Law. Similarly, the Washington addendum highlights that the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act may supersede the franchise agreement, particularly in areas of termination and renewal.
Since the provided excerpts do not detail specific indemnification clauses, prospective franchisees should carefully review the full franchise agreement and consult with legal counsel to understand their rights, obligations, and potential liabilities related to indemnification. It would be prudent to ask C12 Group for a comprehensive explanation of all indemnification provisions within the franchise agreement.
