What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees in certain states must understand that signing any questionnaire or acknowledgement related to starting their franchise does not waive their rights under state franchise laws. This includes the right to make claims of fraud. This protection is specifically mentioned for franchisees in New York, Virginia, and Illinois.
Additionally, franchisees acknowledge that All County requires participation in a Reconciliation Assistance Program. As part of this program, franchisees agree to pay designated fees.
Furthermore, franchisees agree to nominate All County Property Management Franchise Corp. as their Attorney-In-Fact to transfer all rights, titles, and interests in telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses to All County Property Management Franchise Corp. This nomination becomes effective only if the franchisee defaults on the Franchise Agreement and fails to correct the default, or when the term of the Franchise Agreement expires.
