What is the statute of limitations for bringing a claim under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law related to a Kitchen Solvers franchise?

According to the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, any claims arising under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law must be brought within 3 years after the grant of the franchise. This information is found in the addendum to the Kitchen Solvers Franchise Agreement for the state of Maryland.

This means that if a Kitchen Solvers franchisee in Maryland believes they have a claim under the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law, they have a limited time to take legal action. Specifically, the lawsuit must be initiated within three years from the date the franchise was granted. Failure to do so within this timeframe could result in the claim being time-barred, meaning the franchisee would lose their right to pursue legal recourse.

This provision is designed to protect franchisees by ensuring they have adequate time to discover and address any potential violations of the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law. It also provides clarity and certainty for both the franchisee and Kitchen Solvers regarding the timeframe for legal claims. Prospective franchisees should be aware of this limitation and consult with an attorney if they believe they have a claim to ensure they do not miss the deadline for filing a lawsuit.
