Where is Desi District's headquarters located for the purpose of determining the arbitration location?

According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the location of arbitration proceedings is determined by the location of Desi District's headquarters. Currently, Desi District's headquarters is located in Frisco, Texas. This is subject to applicable state law.

This means that if a dispute arises between a franchisee and Desi District that proceeds to arbitration, the arbitration hearings will be held in Frisco, Texas, regardless of where the franchisee's business is located. This could create additional expenses for the franchisee, who would need to travel to Texas for the proceedings.

Furthermore, any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration will take place in the District Court of the United States, in the district where Desi District's headquarters is then located, or if this court lacks jurisdiction, the state courts of the state and county where their headquarters is then located, subject to applicable state law. Franchisees should consider the potential costs and inconvenience associated with this forum selection clause when evaluating the Desi District franchise opportunity.
