What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to promptly provide ATFC with specific legal documents. Specifically, the franchisee must deliver copies of every summons, subpoena, process, or notice of or order for appearance in any suit or proceeding in which ATFC may be involved.
This requirement ensures that All Team is informed and can adequately prepare a defense in any legal matters that may affect the company. It also requires the franchisee to cooperate with All Team's attorneys and insurance carriers in the defense of such legal proceedings.
This obligation is a standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their brand and business interests from potential legal liabilities arising from the actions of their franchisees. Franchisees should be aware of this requirement and establish procedures to ensure timely delivery of these documents to All Team.
