What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering All County's costs and attorney's fees under specific circumstances. These costs become due when All County seeks reimbursement of their actual expenses.
Specifically, All County will charge a franchisee for accounting, attorney, and other professional fees if legal action is initiated against the franchisee due to a breach of the Franchise Agreement. This means that if All County believes a franchisee has violated the terms of their agreement and pursues legal action, the franchisee may be required to pay All County's associated legal and professional fees in addition to their own legal costs.
This arrangement is not uncommon in franchising, as it aims to protect the franchisor from financial losses incurred while enforcing the franchise agreement. Prospective All County franchisees should carefully review the Franchise Agreement to understand what constitutes a breach and what actions could trigger this cost responsibility.
