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. Either the franchisee or C12 Group can provide a notice to discontinue the agreement at least 90 days before the end of the current term. This allows both parties the option to end the agreement with sufficient notice.
The agreement can also be discontinued if either party breaches the terms and conditions outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This is a standard clause in franchise agreements, ensuring that both C12 Group and the franchisee adhere to their contractual obligations. Additionally, the agreement can be discontinued if the franchisee fails to consent to updates or changes in the C12 Group business model and Operations Manual. This consent is documented through a Franchise Compliance Administrative Update letter, which must be signed each year.
Compliance with the Field Operations Manual is essential, including adherence to Brand Standards, mandatory elements of the Meeting Playbook and One-on-One Playbook, and any standard components of the C12 member experience. These standards are put forth by C12 Group, LLC. This ensures that all franchisees maintain a consistent brand experience and follow the established operational procedures. C12 Group also reserves the unilateral right to terminate a Franchise Agreement for nonperformance after a 90-day right to cure on the part of the franchisee.
