Legal Disclaimer

The information and content provided on this website and through the Franchise Builder US platform (operated by Grant Search US, Inc.) are for general informational and business development purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes, and no content generated by the Service should be construed as, an offer to sell a franchise or a solicitation of an offer to buy a franchise.

An offer to sell a franchise can only be made by delivering a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) to the prospective franchisee in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Franchise Rule and applicable state franchise registration and disclosure laws.

The FDD Builder tool within the Service is designed to assist in drafting the content of a Franchise Disclosure Document. However, the output of this tool is a draft only. A completed FDD must be reviewed by qualified franchise counsel and must comply with all applicable FTC and state requirements before it is delivered to any prospective franchisee.

Franchise Builder US does not file or register FDDs with any state or federal agency. You are responsible for ensuring that your FDD is properly registered in each state where you offer or sell franchises, as required by law.

Franchise offerings are subject to registration and disclosure requirements in certain states. As of the date of this disclaimer, the following states require franchise registration: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Additional states have franchise relationship laws and business opportunity laws that may apply.

It is your responsibility to determine which state requirements apply to your franchise offering and to comply with them. Franchise Builder US does not provide legal advice regarding state registration requirements and does not register franchises on your behalf.

The Service, including all AI-generated content, documentation tools, and educational materials, is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Franchise Builder US is not a law firm and does not provide legal services.

You should consult with a qualified franchise attorney licensed in your jurisdiction before making any legal decisions related to your franchise offering, FDD, franchise agreements, or compliance with franchise laws.

The Financial Modeler, Savings Calculator, and other financial tools within the Service are provided for informational and planning purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice, investment advice, or accounting advice. Projections and estimates generated by these tools are based on assumptions and may not reflect actual results.

You should consult with a qualified financial advisor or accountant before making financial decisions related to your franchise offering or business operations.

The Service uses artificial intelligence to assist in generating drafts of franchise documentation, including manuals, FDD sections, business plans, marketing copy, and training materials. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccurate information. It is a starting point for your review and customization, not a finished product.

You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all AI-generated content before relying on it or distributing it to any third party. Franchise Builder US is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your use of or reliance on AI-generated content.

Franchise Builder US provides tools to help you systemize and scale your business into a franchise. We do not guarantee that your franchise offering will be successful, that you will sell any franchises, or that your franchisees will achieve any particular financial results. Franchise success depends on many factors beyond the scope of the Service, including market conditions, business execution, and franchisee performance.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services that are not owned or controlled by Franchise Builder US. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party sites. You access third-party sites at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Franchise Builder US and its affiliates disclaim all liability for any damages or losses arising from your use of the Service or reliance on any content generated by the Service. This includes but is not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, and punitive damages. See our Terms of Service for full limitation of liability terms.

We may update this Legal Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in applicable laws or our practices. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated disclaimer on this page.
