Terms of service

Plain English on purpose. Buying a report or using the site means you agree to these.

1. What this is — and is not

Franchise Facts Report (franchisefactsreport.com) sells per-brand franchise reports structured from Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs) and aggregate franchise directory pages. Everything we publish or sell is an informational product: a faithful reproduction and plain-English summary of public records. It is not legal advice, financial or investment advice, an endorsement by any franchisor, or a substitute for reading the full FDD or consulting a franchise attorney or accountant, and buying or reading it does not create a professional–client relationship of any kind. This report compiles and structures publicly filed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data from state franchise registrations. It is not legal, financial, or investment advice, is not affiliated with or endorsed by any franchisor, and does not replace reading the full FDD or consulting a franchise attorney or accountant. All figures are as disclosed by the franchisor in its most recent registered FDD. Item 19 financial performance representations are made at the franchisor’s option and may be absent or limited.

2. Where the data comes from

Every figure we publish is derived entirely from cited public records: publicly filed Franchise Disclosure Documents registered with state franchise regulators (e.g. the Minnesota Dept. of Commerce CARDS system). Each page and report names its source, links the underlying official record where one exists, and stamps the vintage of the data it was generated from. If you need to verify anything we say, the citation trail is the way to do it — and we encourage it.

3. No warranty

Source records can be wrong, late, amended, or missing; we reproduce and interpret them faithfully, but we provide the service "as is", without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. The absence of a record is never proof that an event did not happen, and the presence of one is not proof of its effect on any particular property.

4. Limitation of liability

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the site or a purchased product is capped at the amount you paid us for that product. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including denied claims, lost disputes, or decisions made in reliance on the data.

5. Your use is yours

What you do with the output — filings, insurance disputes, purchase decisions, negotiations — is your decision and your responsibility, and you agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of it. If a matter is significant, have the underlying records reviewed by a qualified professional.

6. Refunds

If a purchased report isn't useful to you, reply to your delivery email within 14 days and we'll refund it — no forms, no argument.

7. Corrections

Where pages reference real businesses, people, or properties, every fact is attributed to the official record it came from, with its date. If something is wrong, reply to any email we have sent you, or use the contact listed in the site footer and we will correct or remove it promptly.
