What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Communications Assignment becomes effective under specific circumstances related to a franchisee's default or the termination of their agreement. The franchisee nominates All County Property Management Franchise Corp. as their Attorney-In-Fact to transfer rights to telephone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses. This transfer is not immediate or unconditional.
The Communications Assignment only becomes effective if the All County franchisee is in default of the Franchise Agreement and has failed to correct those defaults according to the agreement's terms. It also becomes effective when the term of the Franchise Agreement expires.
This means that All County can take control of the franchisee's business communications channels (phone, fax, email) if the franchisee breaches the agreement and does not fix the breach, or when the franchise term ends. This provision protects All County's brand and customer relationships by ensuring that customer communications can be seamlessly transferred if a franchisee exits the system, whether due to default or the natural end of the agreement.
