In Michigan, what is the geographic scope of the restrictions on unfair provisions in Kidokinetics franchise documents?

According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the state of Michigan prohibits certain unfair provisions that are sometimes included in franchise documents. These prohibitions apply specifically within the state of Michigan.

If any of the listed provisions are present in any documents related to the Kidokinetics franchise, they are considered void and unenforceable against the franchisee. This protection ensures that franchisees operating in Michigan are not subject to certain overreaching or unfair terms that might otherwise be imposed by the franchisor.

The specific provisions that are void and unenforceable include prohibitions on joining franchisee associations, requirements to assent to waivers that deprive franchisees of their rights, clauses allowing termination without good cause, and inadequate compensation for inventory upon non-renewal under certain conditions. These regulations aim to create a fairer balance of power between Kidokinetics and its franchisees within Michigan, safeguarding the franchisees' interests and rights under the law.
