Which sections of the Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Agreement are deleted in their entirety?

According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, certain sections of the Franchise Agreement are deleted in their entirety for franchisees operating in Washington. Specifically, Sections 1.B(2), 1.B(3), 1.B(6), 1.B(7), 1.B(11), and 1.B(13) are removed from the agreement. This modification is documented in a rider to the Franchise Agreement that addresses specific state requirements.

This deletion of sections indicates that the standard Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Agreement contains provisions that do not comply with Washington state law or are otherwise deemed inappropriate for franchisees in that state. Prospective franchisees in Washington should carefully review the remaining sections of the Franchise Agreement and the Washington addendum to understand their rights and obligations fully. They should also seek legal counsel to ensure they understand the implications of these deletions.

For franchisees in other states, the sections listed above remain in effect as part of the standard Franchise Agreement. Additionally, Section 17.H of the Franchise Agreement is deleted if required by Minnesota Franchise Law. This highlights the importance of understanding state-specific addenda and riders, as they can significantly alter the terms of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should always consult with an attorney to understand how state laws affect their franchise agreement.
