This is the document supplied by the franchiser to prospective franchisees that describes in detail the franchise offering. It should be the focal point of the initial review of the franchise. In the law, it supersedes and overrules anything that is printed or said by other franchise literature and the sales persons representing the franchiser. In other words, if the sales person tells you one thing and the UFOC tells you something different, the UFOC rules.* It is a good idea to get legal assistance in understanding and interpreting UFOC's if you don't feel comfortable with them.
