What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must furnish evidence of compliance with post-termination obligations within thirty days after the effective date of termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. This evidence must be satisfactory to Aw.
This requirement means that upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the franchisee has a limited time frame to demonstrate that they have met all the necessary obligations. These obligations include, but are not limited to, ceasing the use of Aw's marks, transferring domain names, and adhering to any post-term covenants.
It is critical for Aw franchisees to understand and document their compliance with all post-termination obligations. Failure to provide satisfactory evidence within the specified timeframe could potentially lead to legal action or other penalties from Aw to enforce compliance.
