Separate the pre-sale waiting period from a cooling-off refund

Key facts

Human involvement: YellowClose supervision
How AI is used: Record the date the disclosure was furnished and the date of signing or payment, and copy any contractual rescission clause with its page. Do not calculate a refund.
What the lawyer must review: Section 436.2 requires the franchisor to furnish the current disclosure document at least 14 calendar days before the prospective franchisee signs a binding agreement or makes a payment to the franchisor or an affiliate. That is a pre-sale timing rule. Part 436 as opened does not give a general post-signing cooling-off right or a statutory refund. The lawyer decides whether the contract itself allows rescission and computes any amount. Do not use a door-to-door rule. None was opened.
