What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, for franchisees operating in North Dakota, any legal action must be brought in the appropriate state or federal court within North Dakota. This modifies the standard "Choice of Forum" clause typically found in franchise agreements. This amendment ensures that North Dakota City Wide franchisees will not be required to litigate disputes in another state, which could create additional expenses.
