What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two addenda for Illinois: one for the Area Development Agreement and one for the Franchise Agreement.
The Illinois Addendum to the Area Development Agreement is applicable only if the developer is domiciled in Illinois, or if the offer of the franchise is made or accepted in Illinois, and the franchise business is or will be located in Illinois. This addendum ensures that specific provisions supersede any inconsistent ones in the standard Area Development Agreement for all Crisp & Green franchises offered and sold in Illinois under those conditions.
For the Illinois Addendum to the Franchise Agreement, each provision is effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987 are met independently, without relying on the addendum itself. This means that the provisions of the addendum will only apply if the legal requirements for franchising in Illinois are already satisfied, ensuring compliance with Illinois law.
