Does the execution of the agreement by the Franchisee Affiliate for Learningrx create an employment relationship between the Franchisor and the Franchisee Affiliate?

According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement signed by the Franchisee Affiliate does not create an employment relationship between Learningrx and the Franchisee Affiliate. The Franchisee Affiliate acknowledges that they are signing the agreement as a condition for accessing and using Learningrx's confidential information while performing their duties as an owner, spouse, employee, or contractor of the franchisee.

The Franchisee Affiliate explicitly waives any claim, to the extent permitted by law, that they might be considered an employee of Learningrx simply by signing the agreement. This waiver applies under both federal and state laws relevant to where the Franchisee Affiliate resides and is employed by the franchisee.

Furthermore, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring that the Franchisee Affiliate complies with the terms of the agreement. This arrangement clarifies that the Franchisee Affiliate's relationship is with the franchisee, not directly with Learningrx, reinforcing the independent nature of the franchise operation.
