What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's violation of Anti-Terrorism Laws can lead to serious repercussions. The agreement stipulates that franchisees and their owners must comply with all Anti-Terrorism Laws, which include Executive Order 13224, the USA PATRIOT Act, and other federal, state, and local regulations related to terrorist acts and acts of war. Franchisees must also certify that their property and interests are not subject to being blocked under these laws and that they are not otherwise in violation of them.
If a Canine Dimensions franchisee or their owners violate any Anti-Terrorism Laws, or if their assets are blocked under these laws, it constitutes grounds for immediate termination of the Franchise Agreement. This means that Canine Dimensions has the right to terminate the franchise relationship without notice or opportunity to cure the violation.
This provision highlights the importance of franchisees conducting business ethically and legally. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the definition and scope of Anti-Terrorism Laws and ensure they have systems in place to comply with these regulations. Failure to do so could result in the loss of their franchise.
