Under what conditions is the addendum an integral part of the Pump It Up Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Pump It Up Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the Pump It Up Franchise Agreement becomes an integral part of the agreement under specific conditions related to the franchisee's location or residency. For franchisees in New York, Maryland, Washington and Wisconsin, addenda are required and form an integral part of the franchise agreement.

For New York franchisees, the addendum is required if the offer or sale of the franchise was made in New York, if the franchisee is a resident of New York, or if the franchised business will be located or operated in New York.

For example, the Maryland addendum clarifies aspects related to liability releases and the statute of limitations for claims. The Washington addendum addresses restrictions on soliciting or hiring employees and waivers of claims under state franchise law. The Wisconsin addendum addresses the conditions under which the Franchise Agreement can be terminated or not renewed may be affected by the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. These state-specific addenda are crucial for ensuring that the franchise agreement complies with local regulations and protects the rights of the franchisee.
