Under what circumstances do the rights and obligations of the parties to the Beehive Homes agreement NOT survive termination or expiration?

According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the rights and obligations of both parties to the franchise agreement will generally survive any termination or expiration of the agreement. However, this is not absolute. The FDD states that this survival applies "unless otherwise specifically provided herein."

This means that there may be specific clauses within the franchise agreement that stipulate certain rights or obligations will cease upon termination or expiration. It is crucial for a prospective franchisee to carefully review the entire franchise agreement, paying close attention to any clauses that define the terms of termination or expiration and whether any rights or obligations are explicitly waived at that time.

For example, while the FDD excerpts provided do not detail specific rights or obligations that do not survive termination, a typical example in franchising might be a clause that requires the franchisee to cease using the franchisor's trademarks and proprietary systems immediately upon termination. Similarly, any ongoing support or training obligations from Beehive Homes to the franchisee would likely cease. Therefore, prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Beehive Homes regarding which specific rights and obligations do not extend beyond the agreement's termination or expiration.
