Specifically, the Franchisee Disclosure Acknowledgment Statement emphasizes that the purchase of a franchise is a business decision with associated risks and that franchisees should not rely on any oral statements, representations, promises, or assurances not authorized by Canine Dimensions.
To ensure compliance with applicable state and federal laws, Canine Dimensions requires prospective franchisees to acknowledge whether any employee of a broker or other person speaking on behalf of Canine Dimensions made any statements or promises regarding potential earnings that contradict the information provided in the Disclosure Document.
