Under what condition is each provision of this amendment effective for Deer Solution?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically the New York Franchise Agreement Amendment, each provision of the amendment is effective only to the extent that the jurisdictional requirements of the New York General Business Law are independently met, without relying on the amendment itself. This means that for any part of the amendment to apply, the situation must already fall under the jurisdiction of New York's General Business Law, regardless of the amendment's existence.

This condition ensures that the amendment doesn't expand the reach of New York law beyond its intended scope. It clarifies that the amendment's provisions are only relevant if the franchisee is domiciled in New York or the Deer Solution outlet will be located there, thus already being subject to New York's General Business Law.

For a prospective Deer Solution franchisee, this means carefully assessing whether their specific circumstances meet the jurisdictional requirements of the New York General Business Law before assuming any provision of the amendment applies to them. If the franchisee's situation doesn't independently fall under New York's jurisdiction, the amendment's provisions won't be effective in their case.
