In the event of conflicting laws, which law prevails for a Fly To Fit franchise in Washington?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Washington Addendum specifies that if there is a conflict of laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW, will take precedence. This means that any part of the franchise agreement that contradicts the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act will be superseded by the Act.

This provision is significant for prospective Fly To Fit franchisees in Washington because it ensures that the protections afforded by Washington state law cannot be undermined by conflicting terms in the franchise agreement. The Act covers various aspects of the franchise relationship, including termination and renewal, so this addendum provides an additional layer of security for franchisees operating in Washington.

It is important for potential Fly To Fit franchisees to carefully review both the franchise agreement and the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act to understand their rights and obligations. Consulting with an attorney experienced in franchise law is advisable to fully comprehend the implications of this conflict of laws provision and how it may affect their investment.
