What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically the Maryland Addendum, a franchisee has three years to bring a claim arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. This three-year statute of limitations begins from the date the franchise is granted.
This means that if a Dermani Medspa franchisee in Maryland believes they have a claim under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, they must initiate legal proceedings within three years of receiving the franchise. Failure to do so may result in the claim being time-barred, meaning the franchisee loses the right to pursue legal action.
It is important for prospective Dermani Medspa franchisees in Maryland to understand this limitation period and to consult with an attorney if they believe they have a claim. The addendum also clarifies that no part of the franchise agreement can reduce this 3-year statute of limitations, ensuring franchisees have the full statutory period to bring claims.
