Under what condition is each provision of the Floors To Go Maryland Amendment effective?

According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, each provision within the Maryland Amendment is effective only if the jurisdictional requirements of the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law are independently met, without relying on the amendment itself. This means that for any part of the Maryland Amendment to apply, the specific legal conditions and requirements set by Maryland law must already be satisfied on their own.

This condition ensures that the amendment works in harmony with existing Maryland franchise laws, rather than trying to override or circumvent them. It protects the franchisee by ensuring that the basic legal requirements for franchising in Maryland are always upheld, regardless of what the amendment might say.

For a prospective Floors To Go franchisee in Maryland, this means carefully reviewing both the standard franchise agreement and the Maryland Amendment, alongside the actual Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. Understanding how these three documents interact is crucial to ensuring full compliance and protecting their rights as a franchisee. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to fully understand the implications of this provision.
