What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cordova's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Hawaii Franchise Agreement Amendment modifies the "Cordova Franchising, LLC Franchise Agreement," referred to as the "Franchise Agreement."
This means that if a prospective franchisee is looking to open a Cordova franchise in Hawaii, the standard Cordova franchise agreement is subject to specific modifications to comply with the Hawaii Franchise Investment Law. These modifications address areas such as franchisee rights concerning non-renewal, termination, and transfer of the franchise.
Specifically, the amendment ensures that the franchisee retains all rights and causes of action arising from the Hawaii Franchise Investment Law, preventing any waiver of these rights through the standard agreement. This offers additional protection to franchisees operating in Hawaii, ensuring that the state's franchise laws take precedence over any conflicting provisions in the standard Cordova Franchise Agreement. Cordova franchisees in Hawaii should carefully review the Hawaii Franchise Agreement Amendment to understand their rights and obligations under Hawaii law.
