Choose the actual statutory route
Section 45.66.220 contains the federal-franchise exclusion and others, including a separate trademark/financial-condition provision. Do not add an invented Alaska notice, fee or compliance condition to the quoted federal-franchise exclusion. A licence label or foreign mark alone does not establish another exclusion.
Section .900 separately defines specified device-location/customer-account assistance, buyback, assured-income/refund and marketing-plan arrangements. Section .070 examines offer origin/receipt, communicated acceptance and the stated buyer-domicile/operating-location connections. Being excluded from this chapter does not remove independent federal duties.
If the chapter applies, count from the actual event
The covered filing package includes the disclosure statement, promotional material, required bond, consent to receive legal documents and application. The regulation adopts forms revised February 9, 2005; that age does not itself invalidate adopted forms, and no new online route was established.
| Event | Covered-route requirement |
|---|---|
| Registration completion | Sections .010–.020(c) and 9 AAC 16.010: registration is complete when the seller receives acknowledgement; it must precede the sale or offer by at least 30 days, not merely be sent 30 days earlier. |
| Buyer disclosure | Section .080 and 9 AAC 16.020: at least ten calendar days before the specified earlier contract-signing or receipt-of-consideration event; any independent federal period remains separate. |
| Continuing offers/sales | Annual renewal by the initial acknowledgement anniversary under .030. |
| Material change | Statement within ten days under .050; 9 AAC 16.060 specifies the adopted form and hand delivery or certified mail. Examples include payment, management/ownership, obligations, bond and significant litigation changes. |
| Bond duration | 9 AAC 16.030: throughout offers/sales and three years after the last sale, not just until promotion stops. |
Covered contracts have cancellation rights
Section .090 requires a written contract with specified terms. Under .130, the buyer can cancel for any reason by written notice within 30 days after signing, with additional cancellation grounds also provided.
Within 15 days after notice, the seller must refund payments and end the buyer’s financial obligations. Within five days after receiving the refund, the buyer must make supplied products, equipment or supplies available. Section .170 prohibits and voids waiver of chapter rights or defenses. These are not automatic rights for every excluded franchise.
Scope
- The served compilation is labelled Alaska Statutes 2025. The chapter and regulations were read, but later 2026 session laws and decisions were not comprehensively reviewed. Actual model, state connections and exclusion conditions remain necessary.
