What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Buildingstars retains the right to demand strict adherence to the Franchise Agreement, even if they've previously waived a franchisee's default. This means that Buildingstars's leniency on one occasion does not prevent them from enforcing every term of the agreement in the future.
For a prospective Buildingstars franchisee, this clause emphasizes the importance of consistently complying with all aspects of the Franchise Agreement. Even if Buildingstars overlooks a violation once, they are not obligated to do so again. Franchisees should not assume that a past waiver sets a precedent for future leniency.
This provision is fairly standard in franchise agreements. It protects Buildingstars's right to enforce its standards and protect its brand. Franchisees should be aware that Buildingstars can change its approach to enforcement at any time and that they must always be in compliance with the agreement.
