What must an All Team USER promptly deliver to ATFC regarding legal proceedings?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the USER must promptly deliver to ATFC copies of every summons, subpoena, process, notice of, or order for appearance in any suit or proceeding in which ATFC may be involved. This requirement ensures that All Team is immediately informed of any legal actions that could affect the company.

In practical terms, this means that if an All Team franchisee (USER) receives any legal documents related to a lawsuit or legal proceeding that involves All Team, the franchisee must quickly provide copies of those documents to All Team. This includes things like summonses (official notices to appear in court), subpoenas (orders to provide evidence or testimony), and any other official court notices or orders.

This obligation is crucial for All Team to be able to respond effectively to legal challenges and protect its interests. By requiring prompt delivery of these documents, All Team can ensure that its attorneys and insurance carriers have the information they need to prepare a defense. The franchisee is also required to cooperate with All Team's attorneys and insurance carriers in the defense of the legal proceedings.

Failure to comply with this requirement could have serious consequences for the franchisee, potentially leading to legal or financial repercussions. It is a standard practice in franchising to ensure the franchisor is made aware of any legal proceedings that may involve them, as these proceedings can have significant impacts on the brand and the franchise system as a whole.
