For Aerus franchisees in Wisconsin, how many days do they have to cure any claimed deficiency after receiving notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances?
Aerus Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
For all franchisees residing in the State of Wisconsin, we will provide you at least 90 days' prior written notice of termination, cancellation or substantial change in competitive circumstances. The notice will state all the reasons for termination, cancellation or substantial change in competitive circumstances and will provide that you have 60 days in which to cure any claimed deficiency. If this deficiency is cured within 60 days, the notice will be void. If the reason for termination, cancellation or substantial change in competitive circumstances is nonpayment of sums due under the franchise, you will have 10 days to cure the deficiency.
For Wisconsin franchisees, Ch. 135, Stats., the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, supersedes any provisions of the Franchise Agreement or a related contract which is inconsistent with the Law.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Wisconsin franchisees are entitled to specific protections under the Wisconsin Franchise Investment Law and the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law. Aerus must provide a Wisconsin franchisee at least 90 days' prior written notice of termination, cancellation, or substantial change in competitive circumstances.
The notice Aerus provides must state all reasons for the termination, cancellation, or substantial change. The franchisee then has 60 days to cure any claimed deficiency, which, if successfully completed within that timeframe, voids the notice.
However, if the reason for termination, cancellation, or substantial change is due to nonpayment of sums owed under the franchise agreement, the franchisee has only 10 days to cure the deficiency. Additionally, the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law supersedes any conflicting provisions in the Franchise Agreement or related contracts for Wisconsin franchisees.
