When are the parties signing the South Dakota addendum to the Caring Transitions Franchise Agreement?

According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the South Dakota addendum is signed concurrently with the Franchise Agreement. This means that both documents are signed at the same time.

This concurrent signing ensures that the franchisee and Caring Transitions are both aware of and agree to the specific modifications and stipulations required by South Dakota law at the time of entering the franchise agreement. These stipulations address issues such as covenants not to compete, arbitration, and the governing law applicable to the agreement.

For a prospective Caring Transitions franchisee in South Dakota, this means that the addendum, which modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with South Dakota law, is an integral part of the initial agreement. The franchisee should carefully review the addendum along with the franchise agreement to understand their rights and obligations under South Dakota law. This includes understanding that certain provisions of the franchise agreement may be superseded by the addendum to ensure compliance with South Dakota regulations.
