The State Addenda to the Franchise Agreement apply to you if you are a resident of the state as to which an Addendum follows, or your franchise territory is in that state, with the exception of Virginia. In the case of Virginia, any Virginia Addendum to the Franchise Agreement only applies if the franchise territory is in Virginia.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, the State Addenda to the Franchise Agreement apply under specific conditions related to the franchisee's residency or the location of the franchise territory. Generally, if a franchisee is a resident of a state for which an addendum exists, or if their franchise territory is located in such a state, the corresponding State Addendum will apply.
However, there's an exception for Virginia. The Virginia Addendum applies only if the franchise territory is specifically located within Virginia, regardless of the franchisee's residency. This means that a Virginia resident who owns a Deka Lash franchise in another state would not be subject to the Virginia Addendum, but a franchisee residing elsewhere with a Deka Lash franchise in Virginia would be.
These State Addenda are important because they supersede any conflicting terms in the standard Franchise Agreement. This ensures that the franchise operation complies with specific state laws and regulations, which can vary significantly. Franchisees should carefully review any applicable State Addenda to understand their rights and obligations within their specific state or territory.
