What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchise Agreement is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless certain conditions are met. This means that the agreement will continue to extend annually without any additional action needed from either C12 Group or the franchisee, provided that neither party triggers a discontinuation event.
The agreement will not automatically renew if either the franchisee or C12 Group provides a notice to discontinue at least 90 days before the end of the current term. This allows both parties the flexibility to end the agreement with sufficient advance notice. Additionally, a breach of the terms and conditions by either party will prevent automatic renewal, highlighting the importance of adhering to the agreement's stipulations.
Furthermore, the franchisee's failure to consent to updates or changes in the C12 Group business model and Operations Manual will also prevent automatic renewal. This consent is documented through signing a Franchise Compliance Administrative Update letter each year, ensuring that franchisees stay aligned with any modifications to the C12 Group system. Compliance with the Field Operations Manual includes adhering to Brand Standards, mandatory elements of the Meeting Playbook and One-on- One Playbook, and any standard components of the C12 member experience put forth by C12 Group, LLC.
In summary, automatic renewal of the C12 Group Franchise Agreement depends on the absence of a discontinuation notice, adherence to the agreement's terms, and the franchisee's consent to any updates in the C12 Group business model and operational guidelines. These conditions ensure that both parties remain committed and aligned for the franchise to continue successfully.
