Are there any court decisions that may supersede the Ledgers franchise agreement in Washington?

According to the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, court decisions may supersede the franchise agreement in Washington. Specifically, the Washington Addendum states that there may be court decisions that supersede the franchise agreement or related agreements concerning the franchisee's relationship with Ledgers.

This means that certain provisions within the Ledgers franchise agreement might not be enforceable in Washington if a court ruling contradicts them. This could impact various aspects of the franchise relationship, including termination and renewal, as these areas are explicitly mentioned as potentially being superseded.

Prospective Ledgers franchisees in Washington should be aware of this possibility and consult with legal counsel to understand their rights and obligations under both the franchise agreement and Washington state law. They should also research relevant court decisions in Washington that could affect the enforceability of specific clauses in the Ledgers franchise agreement.
