What constitutes a 'felony' in the context of charges or convictions against a Better Blend franchisee or owner?

According to the 2024 Better Blend Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's agreement can be terminated if the franchisee or any owner is charged with, pleads guilty or no-contest to, or is convicted of a felony. The FDD does not define what constitutes a felony.

Without a clear definition in the FDD, the determination of what constitutes a felony would likely depend on applicable federal, state, and local laws. The severity of the crime and the potential impact on the Better Blend brand are likely considerations for Better Blend in such situations.

Prospective Better Blend franchisees should seek clarification from Better Blend regarding the definition of "felony" within the context of the franchise agreement. Understanding this term is crucial, as a felony charge or conviction can lead to the termination of the franchise agreement.
