What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Remax Franchise Disclosure Document, all matters concerning the Remax platform, its terms of use, and any related disputes or claims will be governed by the internal laws of Colorado. This includes non-contractual disputes or claims. However, this excludes any principles or rules of law that may direct the application of the law of another state.
For a Remax franchisee, this means that any legal issues arising from the use of the Remax platform will be subject to Colorado law, regardless of where the franchisee is located. This is a common practice in franchising, as it provides the franchisor with a consistent legal framework across all franchise locations.
However, franchisees should be aware that this governing law clause does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Franchisees should consult with a legal professional to understand the full implications of this clause and how it may affect their specific situation.
