Which sections of the Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Agreement are deleted by the Rider?

According to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Disclosure Document, the Rider deletes specific sections of the Franchise Agreement for franchisees in Washington. The sections 1.B(2), 1.B(3), 1.B(6), 1.B(7), 1.B(11) and 1.B(13) are deleted in their entirety from the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, Section 1.B(9) is revised with specific language concerning the necessity of the agreement's terms for maintaining Focalpoint Coaching's standards and protecting its goodwill.

This deletion and revision only applies to franchise agreements in Washington. This modification is due to the Franchised Business operating in Washington, the franchisee residing in Washington, or any franchise offering or sales activity occurring in Washington.

Furthermore, the Rider includes stipulations regarding initial fees for franchisees in Washington. It states that Focalpoint Coaching will not require or accept payment of any initial franchise fees until the franchisee has received all pre-opening and initial training obligations and is open for business. This replaces any impound of franchise fees. This could benefit a new franchisee by reducing their initial financial burden and ensuring they receive adequate training before paying the full franchise fee.

Finally, the Rider adds a paragraph to the end of the Franchise Agreement to acknowledge the requirements of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act. In the event of a conflict of laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW, will prevail. This ensures that Washington franchisees are protected by their state's franchise laws.
