Does the Focus Cfo Franchise Agreement specify any remedies available to Wisconsin franchisees if Focus Cfo violates the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law?

Based on the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no specific mention of remedies available to Wisconsin franchisees in the event that Focus Cfo violates the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. The document does outline dispute resolution, choice of law, and limitations on claims and damages, but these are general provisions and do not specifically address the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law.

Specifically, the Franchise Agreement outlines that, except when governed by the U.S. Trademark Act or other federal law, the agreement is governed by Ohio law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any action, except those subject to arbitration, must be brought in the appropriate state court in Franklin County, Ohio. However, this choice of law and venue does not restrict the parties' ability to enforce judgments or arbitration awards in any appropriate jurisdiction. The document also states that no right or remedy conferred upon Focus CFO or the franchisee is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided by law or equity.

While the Franchise Agreement does not explicitly address remedies under the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, it's important to note that franchisees may still have rights and remedies available to them under that law, regardless of what the franchise agreement states. Prospective franchisees in Wisconsin should consult with an attorney to understand their rights under the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law and how it interacts with the terms of the Focus Cfo Franchise Agreement. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss this matter with Focus CFO directly to understand their perspective on the applicability of the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law and any specific remedies that might be available.
