Can the provisions in agreements with other All Dogs Unleashed franchisees or developers vary substantially from the standard franchise agreement?

According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms and conditions in franchise or development agreements with other franchisees or developers may differ significantly from the standard agreement. Specifically, section 9.9 of the franchise agreement states that other All Dogs Unleashed franchisees and developers may be granted rights at different times and under different circumstances, leading to substantial variations in their agreements.

This clause indicates that All Dogs Unleashed retains the flexibility to tailor agreements to specific franchisees or development situations. This could be due to factors such as market conditions, the franchisee's experience, or the size and scope of the territory being developed. While this flexibility can be beneficial for All Dogs Unleashed, it also means that franchisees may not have identical rights and obligations.

For a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee, this means that the terms of their agreement may not be directly comparable to those of other franchisees. It is important to carefully review and understand all the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement and to seek professional advice if needed. Franchisees should also inquire about the factors that All Dogs Unleashed considers when negotiating agreements with different franchisees and developers to better understand the potential variations and their implications.
