What is the definition of 'Signing Deadlines' for an All Dogs Unleashed franchise?

Based on the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no explicit definition of 'Signing Deadlines.' However, the document does state that ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company must provide the disclosure document to you 14 calendar days before you sign a binding agreement or make a payment with the franchisor or an affiliate in connection with the proposed franchise sale. Michigan requires All Dogs Unleashed to provide the disclosure document at least 10 business days before you sign a binding agreement with, or make a payment to, the franchisor or an affiliate in connection with the proposed franchise sale. New York requires All Dogs Unleashed to provide the disclosure document at the earlier of the first personal meeting or at least 10 business days prior to the signing of a binding agreement.

This 14-day (or 10 business days in Michigan) period is crucial for prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisees. It allows them time to thoroughly review the FDD, seek legal and financial advice, and conduct due diligence before committing to the franchise. The disclosure document summarizes certain provisions of the Franchise Agreement and other information in plain language.

It is important for potential franchisees to be aware of these deadlines and to ensure they receive the FDD in a timely manner. This will enable them to make an informed decision about whether to invest in an All Dogs Unleashed franchise. Franchisees should confirm with the franchisor that they are adhering to the appropriate state laws regarding disclosure deadlines, especially if they are in Michigan or New York.
