RISK FACTORS:

1. THE FRANCHISE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS PERMIT YOU TO MEDIATE WITH AND SUE FRANCHISOR ONLY IN THE STATE OF OUR THEN HEADQUARTERS. OUT OF STATE MEDIATION AND LITIGATION MAY FORCE YOU TO ACCEPT A LESS FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT FOR DISPUTES. IT MAY ALSO COST MORE TO MEDIATE WITH OR SUE FRANCHISOR IN THE STATE OF OUR THEN HEADQUARTERS THAN IN YOUR HOME STATE. STATE FRANCHISE REGISTRATION AND RELATIONSHIP LAWS MAY AFFECT THE ENFORCEABILITY OF CHOICE OF VENUE PROVISIONS (SEE UNIFORM UFOC ADDENDUM AND STATE AMENDMENTS TO THE FRANCHISE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS).


2. THE FRANCHISE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS STATE THAT THE LAW OF THE STATE OF FRANCHISOR'S THEN HEADQUARTERS GOVERNS THE AGREEMENTS, AND THIS LAW MAY NOT PROVIDE THE SAME PROTECTIONS AND BENEFITS AS LOCAL LAW. YOU MAY WANT TO COMPARE THESE LAWS. STATE FRANCHISE REGISTRATION AND RELATIONSHIP LAWS OFTEN PROVIDE THAT CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS ARE VOID OR SUPERSEDED TO THE EXTENT THAT CHOICE OF A DIFFERENT STATE'S LAW WOULD DENY A FRANCHISEE THE PROTECTIONS IT WOULD BE ENTITLED TO UNDER LOCAL LAW. YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE WHETHER YOUR PURCHASE OF THE FRANCHISE FALLS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF A STATE FRANCHISE REGISTRATION OR RELATIONSHIP LAW (SEE UNIFORM UFOC ADDENDUM AND STATE AMENDMENTS TO THE FRANCHISE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS).

To protect you, we've required your franchisor to give you this information. We haven't checked it, and don't know if it's correct. It should help you make up your mind. Study it carefully. While it includes some information about your contract, don't rely on it alone to understand your contract. Read all of your contract carefully. Buying a franchise is a complicated investment. Take your time to decide. If possible, show your contract and this information to an advisor, like a lawyer or an accountant. If you find anything you think may be wrong or anything important that has been left out, you should let us know about it. It may be against the law. There may also be laws on franchising in your state. Ask your state agencies about them.
