What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document outlines conditions under which the franchisor, Assignee, can terminate a franchisee's rights to the leased premises. These conditions are triggered by defaults related to the lease agreement or the franchise agreement itself.
Specifically, C3 Wellness Spa can terminate the franchisee's rights if the franchisee defaults on the terms of the lease and fails to cure the default in a timely manner, assuming the default is curable. Similarly, a default by the franchisee under the C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Agreement, coupled with a failure to timely cure the default (if curable), also constitutes grounds for termination.
Additionally, C3 Wellness Spa can terminate the franchisee's rights if there is a default on any agreement supporting or guaranteeing the Franchise Agreement, or upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement itself. This means that any failure to uphold obligations in related agreements, such as financing or guarantees, can lead to the termination of the franchisee's rights to the leased premises. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these conditions, as they highlight the importance of complying with both the lease agreement and the franchise agreement to maintain their rights to operate the C3 Wellness Spa location.
