What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Master Franchisee repeatedly fails to comply with one or more material requirements of the Master Franchise Agreement, regardless of whether the issues are corrected after notice, Bhc has the right to immediately terminate the agreement. In this case, the Master Franchisee will not have the opportunity to resolve the issues.
If Bhc terminates the Master Franchise Agreement due to the Master Franchisee's repeated non-compliance, certain provisions regarding termination procedures do not apply. Bhc can immediately take legal action to collect damages or enforce its rights.
This clause highlights the importance of adhering to the terms of the Master Franchise Agreement. Repeated failure to meet material requirements, even if corrected, can lead to immediate termination without the standard opportunity to cure the breach, potentially resulting in significant financial and legal repercussions for the Master Franchisee.
