What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term of the franchise agreement is ten years from the operating date. The specific expiration date depends on when the franchise begins operations.
Section 5.3 addresses the possibility of a legally required longer notice period prior to the expiration of the term. If applicable law mandates that Bath Tune Up provide a longer notice period to the franchisee than what is specified in the agreement, Bath Tune Up will provide the additional required notice. If Bath Tune Up fails to give the required additional notice, the agreement will remain in effect on a month-to-month basis until the franchisee receives the necessary notice.
Additionally, the FDD states that the term "expiration date" means the date that the agreement expires without renewal or is terminated, regardless of the reason for termination, or that the franchisee transfers all of its interest in the agreement. This definition is relevant in the context of non-compete obligations, which extend until the expiration date.
