What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Standard Renewal Addendum is an addendum to the BrightStar Franchising, LLC Agency Franchise Agreement. The addendum is made and entered into by and between BrightStar Franchising, LLC and the franchisee. All capitalized terms not defined in the addendum have the meanings ascribed to them in the Franchise Agreement. The addendum becomes effective on the date BrightStar Care signs it.
The Brightstar Care Standard Renewal Addendum references a Primary Franchise Agreement, through which the franchisee was granted the right to operate a BRIGHTSTAR agency in a Protected Territory. Concurrently with the execution of the addendum, the parties are signing an additional BrightStar Franchising, LLC Agency Franchise Agreement, to which the addendum is attached. Through this agreement, the franchisee is granted the right to open and operate a BRIGHTSTAR agency in the Protected Territory defined in Exhibit A.
This Franchise Agreement relates to a Medium Density Market, and the franchisee agrees to comply with the obligations set forth in the Franchise Agreement and the addendum in connection with the Medium Density Market Territory. Franchisees who operate their franchises in a Medium Density Market Territory must continue the operation of their Primary Agency in order to retain their franchise rights with respect to their Medium Density Markets. The franchisee's right to continue operating the Agency as a Medium Density Market agency, and to retain franchise rights for the Agency, depends on the continued operation of the Primary Agency. The termination or expiration of the Primary Franchise Agreement for the Primary Agency will result in the automatic and concurrent termination or expiration of the Agency's Franchise Agreement, including the addendum. The parties agree to amend the Franchise Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions outlined in the addendum.
