What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Alloy, as the franchisor, has the right to terminate the franchise agreement under certain conditions. If a franchisee defaults on the agreement, Alloy will typically provide a written notice of default. The franchisee then has a specific period to correct, or 'cure,' the default.
For most defaults, the franchisee has 30 days from the date of the written notice to cure the issue. However, if the default involves a failure to pay amounts due or submit required reports, the franchisee only has 10 days to cure the default. Failure to cure the default within the applicable timeframe (30 or 10 days) gives Alloy the right to terminate the franchise agreement.
There are also situations where Alloy can terminate the agreement immediately without offering an opportunity to cure. These include instances such as material misrepresentation in the franchise application, abandonment of the agreement, loss of the lease, unauthorized use of confidential information, failure to maintain required insurance, or insolvency. It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand these conditions, as any of these defaults could lead to immediate termination of the franchise agreement.
