What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Endless Summer Sweets Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement includes state-specific addenda. Specifically, there is a California Rider to the Franchise and Multi-Unit Development Agreement, as well as a Hawaii addendum to the disclosure document. These addenda modify certain provisions of the standard franchise agreement to comply with state laws.
For prospective Endless Summer Sweets franchisees, this means that the terms of the franchise agreement may vary depending on the state in which they are located. For example, the California Rider addresses issues such as the enforceability of non-compete clauses and liquidated damages under California law. The Hawaii addendum indicates changes specific to Hawaii.
It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review any state-specific addenda that apply to their location, as these addenda can significantly impact their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement. Consulting with an attorney who is familiar with franchise law in their state is highly recommended to ensure they fully understand the terms of the agreement and any applicable state laws.
