What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County is not liable for losses or damages if they discontinue any programs or promotions. This also applies if these programs or promotions are no longer part of their methods of operation. Additionally, All County is not liable if they, their affiliates, or designated suppliers cannot deliver orders for products, merchandise, equipment, or supplies due to being out-of-stock or discontinued.
This means that as an All County franchisee, you bear the risk if a promotion you were relying on is canceled, or if essential supplies become unavailable. This could impact your revenue projections and marketing strategies, as you may need to adapt quickly to changes in All County's offerings and supply chain.
This clause protects All County from liability due to changes in business strategy or supply chain issues. As a prospective franchisee, it is important to understand that All County can change its programs and promotions without being held responsible for any financial impact on your franchise. You should inquire about the frequency of program changes and the availability of alternative resources in case of supply disruptions.
