What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Augusta Lawn Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchise agreement is terminated for any reason, you must provide a final accounting for the Augusta Lawn Care business and pay all outstanding payments due to Augusta Lawn Care within thirty (30) days of the termination date.
In addition to paying all outstanding amounts, you are also required to pay Augusta Lawn Care a fee of at least $5,000 to cover their legal and administrative costs associated with the termination. You must also return the operations manual and any other property belonging to Augusta Lawn Care.
It is important to note that failure to make any payments when due under the agreement is grounds for Augusta Lawn Care to terminate the agreement with only five days' notice. Therefore, maintaining timely payments is crucial to avoid potential termination and the subsequent obligations.
