Which sections of the Learningrx franchise agreement are deleted in Washington?

According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are specific deletions and modifications to the franchise agreement for franchisees in Washington state. Attachment VII, the Statement of Franchisee Questionnaire, is deleted in its entirety. Additionally, Sections 19.1 and 19.2 of the franchise agreement are also deleted. These deletions are due to the provisions violating the North American Securities Administrators Association Statement of Policy Regarding the Use of Franchise Questionnaires and Acknowledgments, as adopted by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Securities Division.

These modifications are important for prospective Learningrx franchisees in Washington as they ensure compliance with state regulations and protect franchisees from potentially unfair or misleading practices related to questionnaires and acknowledgments. The deletion of these sections indicates a focus on adhering to Washington's franchise laws, particularly concerning franchisee rights and disclosures.

Furthermore, the FDD stipulates that in the event of conflicting laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW, will take precedence. This includes areas related to termination and renewal of the franchise, which may be superseded by RCW 19.100.180 or relevant court decisions. This ensures that Washington franchisees receive the full protection of their state's franchise laws, regardless of what the standard Learningrx franchise agreement might state.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review these addenda and understand how they modify the standard franchise agreement. Consulting with an attorney experienced in franchise law is advisable to fully grasp the implications of these changes and how they affect their rights and obligations as a Learningrx franchisee in Washington.
