In addition to the permanent ban on the sale or marketing of franchises or similar business ventures and on offering employment opportunities for which they charge money, the FTC will seek proof of claim forms from individuals who purchased the franchise to allow consumer redress. The settlement resolves an FTC suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in August, 1995. The forms must be completed and submitted by January 29, 1997. The Commission vote to accept the stipulated permanent injunction was 5-0. This stipulated permanent injunction is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendant of a law violation.
