In which states does the 'No Waiver or Disclaimer or Reliance' provision apply to Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisees?

According to the 2025 Nothing Bundt Cakes Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'No Waiver or Disclaimer or Reliance' provision does not apply to franchisees in certain states with franchise disclosure laws. Specifically, this provision is not applicable to Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisees in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, or Wisconsin.

This means that in these states, franchisees may have certain legal rights and protections that are not waived by signing the franchise agreement. For example, franchisees in these states may be able to bring claims against Nothing Bundt Cakes based on representations made during the franchise sales process, even if those representations are not included in the written agreement. This can be a significant benefit for franchisees, as it provides them with additional recourse if they believe they were misled or defrauded.

Prospective Nothing Bundt Cakes franchisees should carefully review the franchise disclosure laws in their state to understand their rights and protections. They should also consult with an attorney to discuss the implications of the 'No Waiver or Disclaimer or Reliance' provision and how it may affect their franchise agreement. Understanding these provisions is crucial for making informed decisions and protecting their investment in a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise.
