What happens if a court appoints a trustee for a Bee Organized franchisee's business?

According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a court of competent jurisdiction appoints or orders any trustee, receiver, conservator, custodian, or liquidator for a franchisee's Bee Organized business or its assets, and such appointment or order remains for an aggregate of 60 days, whether or not consecutive, from the date of entry, it can trigger certain consequences under the franchise agreement.

This situation is outlined as a potential event of default. If such an appointment remains in effect for 60 days, Bee Organized has grounds to consider the franchisee in default of their agreement. This clause protects Bee Organized by ensuring that the brand and business operations are not negatively impacted by prolonged legal or financial instability of a franchisee.

This does not automatically mean termination of the franchise agreement, but it gives Bee Organized the right to take action, potentially leading to termination as per Article 16.A.(2), Article 16.A.(3), or Article 16.A.(4) of the agreement. Franchisees should be aware that such events can have serious repercussions for their franchise ownership.
