Legal Question in Business Law in California

Minors may void any contracts while under hte age of majority except those contract for the purchase of the necessities of life.

In normal people language, what Mr. Marman said is that a minor cannot be a party to a binding contract at all for the type of transaction you are talking about.

As a Franchise Attorney I think you need to focus on the practical effect. If you're the minor in this transaction, you have a right to cancel the contract and get your money back. If you're the seller, you need to face this reality. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
