What section of the Hydrodog Franchise Agreement previously contained a waiver of jury trial?

According to the 2025 Hydrodog Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 21.14 of the Franchise Agreement previously contained a waiver of jury trial. This section has been amended to remove any reference to waiving the right to a jury trial.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the initial agreement included a clause where the franchisee would waive their right to a jury trial. However, the updated agreement removes this clause, meaning franchisees retain their right to a jury trial in legal disputes.

This change is favorable for franchisees as it allows them to have their case heard by a jury of their peers, which some may see as a more equitable process than a bench trial. Franchise agreements often contain clauses that limit franchisee's legal rights, so the removal of this waiver is a positive development for Hydrodog franchisees.
