What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Cilantro Taco Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, each provision of the Amendment to the disclosure document is effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Washington Franchise Investment Law are independently met without relying on the Amendment itself.
This means that for any part of the addendum to be valid, it must comply with Washington's franchise laws on its own, regardless of what the addendum states. This requirement ensures that the addendum doesn't try to bypass or weaken the protections provided by Washington's franchise laws.
For a prospective Cilantro Taco Grill franchisee, this condition offers some assurance that their rights under Washington's franchise laws are upheld. It prevents the franchisor from using the addendum to circumvent those legal protections. Franchisees should still carefully review all documents with a legal professional to fully understand their rights and obligations.
