Regarding the additional disclosures for Indiana, under what condition are they effective for a Fitstop franchise?

According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the additional disclosures for the state of Indiana are only effective if the jurisdictional requirements of the Indiana Deceptive Franchise Practices Law are met independently, without relying on these additional disclosures themselves. If these jurisdictional requirements are not met separately, the additional disclosures will have no force or effect.

In simpler terms, for the extra legal information provided specifically for Indiana to apply to a Fitstop franchise, the legal basis for applying Indiana's franchise law must exist on its own, regardless of these additional disclosures. This means that the situation must already fall under Indiana's jurisdiction according to its laws.

This condition ensures that Fitstop is only subject to these additional requirements when Indiana law naturally applies. It prevents the additional disclosures from creating jurisdiction where it wouldn't otherwise exist. A prospective franchisee in Indiana should understand that these additional disclosures are not a guarantee of specific rights or protections unless the underlying jurisdictional requirements are independently satisfied.
