Under what condition does the Wisconsin addendum to the Face Foundrie Franchise Disclosure Document become effective?

According to the 2025 Face Foundrie Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wisconsin addendum becomes effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Wisconsin Franchise Law or its related rules and regulations are independently met, without relying on the addendum itself. Additionally, the provision must be a valid requirement of the statute at the time.

This means that for any part of the Wisconsin addendum to apply to a Face Foundrie franchise agreement, that specific part must already be required by Wisconsin law, regardless of whether it's in the addendum. The addendum doesn't create new obligations but rather clarifies how existing Wisconsin franchise laws interact with the standard Face Foundrie franchise agreement.

For a prospective Face Foundrie franchisee in Wisconsin, this implies that they should be familiar with the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, Ch. 135, Wisconsin Stats. 1981-82, as it takes precedence over any conflicting terms in the franchise agreement. It is important to understand the specific requirements of Wisconsin law to determine which parts of the addendum, and by extension, the franchise agreement, are actually enforceable.
