What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly specify effective dates for receipts in Wisconsin. However, the FDD includes a Wisconsin FDD Amendment that supplements Item 17, "Renewal, Termination, Transfer and Dispute Resolution," stating that the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law may affect the termination provision of the Franchise Agreement. This indicates that Wisconsin state laws have specific considerations that could impact the franchise agreement.
Item 23 generally discusses receipts and includes a clause stating that no statement signed by a franchisee can waive claims under state franchise law. This provision is included in amendments for California, Hawaii, and Virginia, suggesting it's a standard protection for franchisees across different states. However, there are no specific details about receipt effective dates for Wisconsin.
Prospective franchisees in Wisconsin should consult with a legal professional to understand how the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law and other state regulations may affect their franchise agreement, particularly concerning termination provisions and any specific requirements related to receipts or other documentation. It would be prudent to ask Deer Solution directly about any internal policies or guidelines regarding receipt effective dates in Wisconsin to ensure full compliance with both the franchise agreement and state law.
