According to the 2024 Casiola Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit H contains state-specific addenda. Specifically, the document includes a California FDD Amendment. The amendment notes that the registration of the franchise offering by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation does not constitute approval, recommendation, or endorsement by the commissioner.

State-specific addenda are common in franchise disclosure documents. These addenda modify the standard franchise agreement or FDD to comply with specific state laws. These modifications can cover a variety of topics, such as franchise registration requirements, dispute resolution procedures, and franchisee rights.

Prospective Casiola franchisees in California should carefully review the California FDD Amendment in Exhibit H to understand how California law affects their franchise agreement and their rights as a franchisee. They should also consult with an attorney to ensure they fully understand the implications of these state-specific provisions.
