         This chapter applies to a new or existing franchise that is
      operated in the state of Iowa.  For purposes of this chapter, the
      franchise is operated in this state only if the premises from which
      the franchise is operated is physically located in this state.  For
      purposes of this chapter, a franchise including marketing rights in
      or to this state, is deemed to be operated in this state only if the
      franchisee's principal business office is physically located in this
      state.  This chapter does not apply to a franchise solely because an
      agreement relating to the franchise provides that the agreement is
      subject to or governed by the laws of this state.  The provisions of
      this chapter do not apply to any existing or future contracts between
      Iowa franchisors and franchisees who operate franchises located out
      of state.
