What Minnesota statute governs the limitations of claims for a Clear Pest Pros franchise?

According to the 2025 Clear Pest Pros Franchise Disclosure Document, the limitations of claims section must comply with Minnesota Statute § 80C.17, subd. 5. This means that any clause in the franchise agreement that limits the time a franchisee has to bring a claim against Clear Pest Pros must adhere to this specific Minnesota law.

For a prospective Clear Pest Pros franchisee in Minnesota, this is an important protection. Minnesota Statute § 80C.17, subd. 5, ensures that franchisees have a fair amount of time to discover and address any issues or disputes that may arise during the franchise term. Without this protection, Clear Pest Pros could potentially impose very short claim limitation periods, which could unfairly disadvantage franchisees.

It is important for a potential Clear Pest Pros franchisee to carefully review the franchise agreement with legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations, particularly regarding the limitations of claims and how Minnesota Statute § 80C.17, subd. 5, applies. This statute helps to balance the legal relationship between the franchisor and franchisee, providing a more equitable framework for resolving disputes.
