Is Cool Binz allowed to seek injunctive relief against a franchisee in Minnesota?

According to Cool Binz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cool Binz is permitted to seek injunctive relief against a franchisee in Minnesota. However, the franchisee cannot be required to consent to Cool Binz obtaining this injunctive relief. The document references Minn. Rules 2860.4400(J) regarding this provision. The court will determine if a bond is required for the injunctive relief.

This means that while Cool Binz retains the right to pursue legal action to prevent a franchisee from actions that could harm the brand or business, the franchisee's rights are also protected. The franchisee cannot be forced to agree to an injunction, and a court will independently decide whether an injunction is appropriate and if a bond is necessary.

This clause is particularly relevant for prospective franchisees in Minnesota as it clarifies the legal rights and limitations of both the franchisor and franchisee regarding injunctive relief, ensuring compliance with Minnesota state law.
