The fact that a franchise has been registered by the Administrator is not a finding by the Administrator that the disclosure statement filed with the Administrator in connection with that registration is in any way true, accurate or complete in substance or on its face, or to be held to mean that the Administrator has in any way passed upon the merits or given approval to such franchise. It is unlawful to make, or cause to be made, to any prospective franchisee any express or implied representation contrary to the foregoing or to advertise or represent that the Administrator approves of or recommends any franchise.
