According to the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, the Washington Addendum is applied under specific conditions related to the franchise transaction and location. The addendum is an integral part of the franchise agreement and modifies the Franchise Disclosure Document and all related agreements, regardless of any contradictory information in those documents.

The Washington Addendum applies if any of the following conditions are met: (a) the offer to sell a Ledgers franchise is accepted in Washington, (b) the purchaser of the franchise is a resident of Washington, or (c) the franchised business that is the subject of the sale is to be located or operated, wholly or partly, in Washington.

This means that if a prospective Ledgers franchisee lives in Washington, accepts the franchise offer in Washington, or plans to operate their Ledgers franchise in Washington, the Washington Addendum will be incorporated into their franchise agreement. This addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with Washington state law, potentially altering the franchisee's rights and obligations. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Washington Addendum to understand how it affects their franchise agreement.
