What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no explicit mention of the consequences if Ledgers violates RCW 19.100.180(2)(d) regarding pricing. However, the FDD does include some information regarding Washington state law and how it relates to the franchise agreement.
Specifically, the FDD states that any provision in the franchise agreement that conflicts with the limitations of Washington state law is void and unenforceable in Washington. This suggests that if Ledgers were to violate RCW 19.100.180(2)(d), the specific clause or action would be considered void and unenforceable in Washington.
To fully understand the potential consequences, a prospective franchisee should ask Ledgers for specific examples of actions that would violate RCW 19.100.180(2)(d) and what the ramifications would be in those scenarios. This would provide a clearer picture of the risks and legal implications for franchisees operating in Washington.
