How long does Better Blend have to respond to a franchisee's request to approve a new vendor?

According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to purchase inputs from a vendor not already approved, Better Blend has 30 days to respond to the franchisee's request.

Specifically, if Better Blend requires franchisees to purchase a particular input only from an approved or required vendor, and a franchisee wants to buy that input from a different vendor, the franchisee must submit a written request for approval. This request should include any information, specifications, or samples that Better Blend asks for.

Better Blend has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove the alternative vendor. Better Blend will then provide the franchisee with written notification of the approval or disapproval of the proposed new vendor within 30 days of receiving the franchisee's request. This allows franchisees to seek alternative vendors while also giving Better Blend time to evaluate the vendor's suitability.
