If Buildingstars changes its marks, who is responsible for paying the costs associated with the change?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs if Buildingstars decides to change its marks. Buildingstars retains the right to modify the marks used by the franchisee at any time and for any reason they deem appropriate.

This means that as a Buildingstars franchisee, you must promptly implement any changes to the marks and bear the financial burden associated with these changes. These costs could include updating signage, marketing materials, uniforms, and any other items bearing the old marks.

This clause is important for prospective franchisees to consider, as it represents a potential unbudgeted expense. While the FDD does not specify how often Buildingstars might change its marks, franchisees should be prepared for the possibility of needing to update their branding and materials at their own cost. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss with Buildingstars how often they have changed their marks in the past and what the estimated costs of such changes might be.
