What must an All Dogs Unleashed franchisee do immediately upon expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement regarding the use of names and marks?

According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement, a franchisee must immediately cease all use of the All Dogs Unleashed Marks, Copyrighted Works, and Confidential Information. This means the franchisee can no longer operate under the All Dogs Unleashed brand or utilize any of its associated intellectual property.

Additionally, the franchisee is required to cancel any assumed name registration containing the Marks. At All Dogs Unleashed's request, the franchisee must assign all rights to telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, domain names, Internet listings (including online reviews like Google Business and Yelp), and Internet accounts related to the franchised business to All Dogs Unleashed. This ensures that All Dogs Unleashed maintains control over its brand identity and online presence.

These post-termination obligations are standard in franchising to protect the brand and prevent confusion in the marketplace. Failing to comply with these requirements could result in legal action from All Dogs Unleashed to enforce its rights. Prospective franchisees should understand these obligations before entering into a franchise agreement.
