Based on the 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document, the addenda for Maryland, New York, and North Dakota state that certain provisions within the franchise agreement do not act as a waiver of liability or rights under state franchise laws. Specifically, in Maryland, no statement or acknowledgment signed by a franchisee can waive claims under applicable state franchise law, including fraud in the inducement, or disclaim reliance on statements made by Spray Net. Similarly, in New York, the choice of law should not be considered a waiver of any right conferred upon the franchisor or franchisee by the General Business Law of the State of New York.

For a prospective Spray Net franchisee, these stipulations provide additional protection by ensuring that franchisees do not unknowingly or unintentionally relinquish their rights under state laws. This means that even if certain clauses in the franchise agreement seem to limit Spray Net's liability or the franchisee's ability to make claims, these clauses may not be enforceable under the franchise laws of Maryland, New York, or North Dakota. This protection extends to claims of fraud and reliance on statements made by Spray Net during the franchise sales process.

It is important for franchisees to be aware of these state-specific addenda and how they modify the standard franchise agreement. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement and applicable state laws. These addenda reflect a commitment to comply with state franchise laws, which are designed to protect franchisees from unfair or deceptive practices. The presence of these addenda suggests that Spray Net acknowledges and respects the regulatory environment in these states, providing a degree of assurance to potential franchisees.
