What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement outlines a specific process for selecting an arbitrator. In the event of a dispute, either Learningrx or the franchisee can demand arbitration, which will take place in Denver, Colorado. The arbitrator must be experienced in franchise law and chosen by mutual agreement between the parties.

If Learningrx and the franchisee cannot agree on an arbitrator within ten business days of a written arbitration demand, the process involves each party selecting one arbitrator. These two arbitrators then jointly select a single arbitrator to preside over the matter. This ensures a balanced approach to the selection process.

Furthermore, the Learningrx franchise agreement specifies that both parties consent to using the services of Judicial Arbitration Group, Inc. (or its successor) or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to administer the arbitration. The arbitration itself will be conducted according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association that are current at the time of the proceedings. This provides a structured and recognized framework for the arbitration process.
