What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement for Illinois is subject to the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act. An addendum to the Area Development Agreement states that each provision within the amendment is effective only to the extent that it meets the jurisdictional requirements of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act.

This means that the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act dictates the legal framework governing the franchise relationship within the state. This act ensures that specific legal requirements are met independently of the addendum to the agreement.

If any part of the addendum doesn't comply with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act, that specific part will not be valid. This protects the franchisee by ensuring that the franchise agreement adheres to Illinois law.
