What would be the location of a dispute with the franchisor?

Nick,

The FDD I am evaluating says that the agreement is to be enforced "according to the laws of Arizona ." How would this impact my rights in my state ( Florida )?

Ed, your rights are your rights as outlined and described in the sample franchise agreement as seen in the FDD. The document in your hands is putting you on notice that any legal proceedings will take place in AZ not FL. Hence, it will cost you more in travel, etc. It is a standard issue, but please, get a "Franchise" attorney to help you review the document to reveal any sore spots. If you have not done proper due diligence yet, get it done.

Best regards,

Nick
