The New York Franchise Sales Act requires registration and delivery of a disclosure document before the sale. Section 691 of the General Business Law gives a private right of action for a violation, with a three-year limitations period, and the remedies available are damages, and rescission where the court finds it appropriate. Rescission is awarded, not elected. A franchisee claiming it must plead the violation and be prepared to return what it received under the agreement, and the claim does not by itself suspend the franchisor’s rights while the case is pending. Termination is governed by the agreement. New York does not impose a general statutory restriction on termination or non-renewal, so a wrongful termination claim rests on the contract’s own cure provisions and on whether the stated ground existed, with the disclosure claim proceeding alongside it rather than in place of it.
