What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the statute of limitations for commencing an action against Desi District in the state of Minnesota is three years.
Specifically, the Minnesota Rider to the Franchise and Multi-Unit Development Agreement amends the agreement to comply with Minnesota Statutes, Section 80C.17, Subd. 5. This statute dictates that no action can be commenced more than three years after the cause of action accrues. This means that a franchisee has a limited time frame to bring any legal claims against Desi District under Minnesota law.
This limitation is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it sets a deadline for taking legal action. Franchisees need to be aware of this three-year window and ensure they take timely action if they believe Desi District has violated their rights under the franchise agreement or Minnesota law. Missing this deadline could prevent a franchisee from pursuing a legal remedy.
