What This Means (2025 FDD)

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document for Cr3 American Exteriors includes a State Specific Addendum that applies to franchisees residing or operating in Indiana. This addendum modifies certain aspects of the standard franchise agreement to comply with Indiana law. Specifically, it references several sections of the Indiana Code related to franchise terminations, releases of claims, and non-competition covenants. However, the document does not explicitly name a specific State Administrator or agency responsible for franchise regulation in Indiana.

While the FDD doesn't provide a name, it does indicate where relevant information can be found. Item 17, concerning "Renewal, Termination, Transfer and Dispute Resolution," is supplemented with information about Indiana Code 23-2-2.7-1(7), which addresses the conditions for lawful franchise termination. It also mentions Indiana Code 23-2-2.7-1(5), which prohibits prospective general releases of claims under the Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Law. Furthermore, Item 17(r) is amended to limit the geographical scope of post-term non-competition covenants to the franchisee's granted territory, in accordance with Indiana Code 23-2-2.7-1(9).

Given that the FDD refers to specific sections of the Indiana Code, a prospective Cr3 American Exteriors franchisee should consult these legal provisions directly or seek legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations under Indiana law. To determine the appropriate state agency or administrator to contact with any concerns, a potential franchisee should consider asking Cr3 American Exteriors directly for the contact information of the relevant Indiana state agency responsible for franchise matters.
