What is the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation's stance on the Checkersrallys website content?

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation has not reviewed or approved the Checkersrallys website. This means that the state agency does not endorse the information presented on the website as accurate or complete. Prospective franchisees should therefore conduct their own independent investigation and due diligence regarding the information found on the Checkersrallys website.

Checkersrallys discloses that any complaints concerning the content of the website may be directed to the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. This provides an avenue for individuals to report concerns or inaccuracies they may find on the website. However, it is important to note that the Department's role is to receive complaints, not to pre-approve the website's content.

This disclaimer is a standard practice among franchisors in California and other registration states. Because franchise sales are regulated, states often require franchisors to explicitly state that their websites and marketing materials have not been vetted by the state. This protects both the state and potential franchisees by ensuring that individuals do not rely solely on the franchisor's marketing when making investment decisions. Prospective Checkersrallys franchisees should verify all claims and promises made on the website through independent research and consultation with professional advisors.
