What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 17 provides a table summarizing key provisions of the franchise agreement, including those related to renewal and extension. Specifically, Section 2.2 of the Franchise Agreement outlines the terms for renewal or extension of the franchise term.
The initial franchise term for Canine Dimensions is 10 years from the date the agreement is signed, as detailed in Section 2.1. Section 2.2 states that franchisees are permitted to acquire a successor franchise for one additional 5-year term if they meet the requirements outlined in that section of the Franchise Agreement.
To renew, Section 5.2 indicates that franchisees must provide advance written notice, be in good standing with Canine Dimensions, sign the then-current Franchise Agreement and a release, pay a renewal fee, and meet the company's current requirements for franchisees. The new franchise agreement may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original, but the boundaries of the Protected Territory will remain the same. The fees for obtaining a successor franchise will not be greater than the fees that Canine Dimensions imposes on similarly situated renewing franchisees.
