What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding the franchise term can be found in Section 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement. The agreement starts when you sign it and concludes 10 years later.
Section 2.2 outlines the possibility of acquiring a successor franchise for one additional 5-year term, provided you meet the requirements listed in that section of the Franchise Agreement. These requirements are further detailed in Section 5.2, stating that you must provide advance written notice, be in good standing, sign a new Franchise Agreement and release, pay a renewal fee, and meet Canine Dimensions's then-current requirements for franchisees.
It is important to note that when renewing, Canine Dimensions may ask you to sign a contract with materially different terms and conditions than your original contract. However, the boundaries of your Protected Territory will remain the same, and the fees for obtaining a successor franchise will not be greater than the fees that Canine Dimensions then imposes on similarly situated renewing franchisees. Prospective franchisees should carefully review these sections to understand the initial term and the conditions for renewal.
