What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, All Dogs Unleashed's failure to enforce strict compliance or exercise its rights does not constitute a waiver of those rights. This means that even if All Dogs Unleashed does not initially insist on timely performance, it retains the right to demand strict compliance with the agreement's terms at any later time.
Specifically, the franchise agreement states that waiver by All Dogs Unleashed of any breach, failure, refusal, or neglect to exercise any right does not prevent them from requiring strict compliance in the future. This protects All Dogs Unleashed's ability to enforce the franchise agreement terms, even if they have previously been lenient.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that they cannot assume leniency or non-enforcement of certain terms simply because All Dogs Unleashed has not strictly enforced them in the past. All Dogs Unleashed retains the right to demand full compliance at any time, so franchisees must always be prepared to meet all obligations outlined in the franchise agreement.
