What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buildingstars Franchise Disclosure Document, Buildingstars retains the right to object to any future requests from a franchisee, even if they failed to object to a similar request in the past. This means that Buildingstars's approval of a franchisee's specific request does not set a precedent for future requests.
This clause is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies that Buildingstars maintains discretion over approving requests on a case-by-case basis. A franchisee cannot assume that because one request was approved, similar requests will automatically be approved in the future. This protects Buildingstars's ability to ensure that all franchisee activities align with the brand's standards and the integrity of the franchise system.
For a Buildingstars franchisee, this means they must seek approval for each instance of providing non-standard services or products. Buildingstars's decision to approve or deny a request will depend on whether the services interfere with the core franchise services, are associated with the Buildingstars brand, whether the franchisee can perform the services well, and whether the customer understands the services are separate from the franchise. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Buildingstars and provide detailed information when seeking approval to ensure a smooth process and avoid potential conflicts.
