What must a Boulder Designs franchisee cease using upon termination or non-renewal of the franchise agreement?

According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or non-renewal of the franchise agreement, a franchisee must cease using the Confidential Information, the System, and the Marks. This includes all signs, slogans, symbols, logos, advertising materials, stationery, forms, and any other items associated with the Marks. This requirement ensures that the franchisee no longer represents themselves as part of the Boulder Designs franchise system after the agreement ends.

In practical terms, this means a former Boulder Designs franchisee must remove all branding and proprietary materials from their business operations. They can no longer use the Boulder Designs name, logo, or any other intellectual property associated with the brand. This extends to physical items like signs and stationery, as well as marketing materials and online presence.

Additionally, the franchisee must take action to cancel or assign any assumed name registrations containing "Boulder Designs" or any other Mark to the franchisor. This prevents the franchisee from continuing to operate under a name that could be confused with the Boulder Designs brand. Compliance with these post-termination obligations is crucial to avoid legal repercussions and ensure a clean break from the franchise system.
