Are there any exceptions to the requirement that Ledgers franchisees must comply with all applicable laws?

According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally required to operate their franchised business in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. However, there is an exception regarding the sale of authorized goods and services.

Specifically, Ledgers franchisees are required to sell all goods or services that Ledgers authorizes, unless prohibited by applicable local law or approved otherwise by Ledgers. This means that if a local law prevents a franchisee from selling a particular good or service that Ledgers typically authorizes, the franchisee is not required to sell that item in that specific location.

This exception provides a degree of flexibility for Ledgers franchisees to adapt their offerings to the specific legal requirements of their local jurisdiction. However, franchisees are ultimately responsible for understanding and adhering to all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations, and for staying informed about any changes or interpretations of these laws.
