What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin Addendum to the franchise agreement is rendered ineffective if the jurisdictional requirements of Wisconsin franchise laws and regulations are satisfied independently, without relying on the addendum itself.
This implies that the provisions of the Wisconsin Addendum are only meant to supplement, and not replace, existing Wisconsin franchise laws. If the standard Crisp & Green franchise agreement already complies with Wisconsin law, the addendum serves no purpose.
For a prospective Crisp & Green franchisee in Wisconsin, this means they should ensure they understand both the standard franchise agreement and the Wisconsin Addendum. However, they should also be aware of the underlying Wisconsin franchise laws, as those laws will take precedence regardless of what is stated in either the agreement or the addendum. It would be prudent to consult with a legal professional familiar with Wisconsin franchise law to ensure full compliance and understanding.
