What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether a franchisee has an opportunity to cure a breach before termination depends on the nature of the default. Canine Dimensions can terminate the Franchise Agreement with notice, and with or without a cure period, if the franchisee breaches a material provision of the Franchise Agreement.
Specifically, for certain curable defaults, a Canine Dimensions franchisee has 30 days after notice to cure breaches relating to: (a) failure to pay any amounts due to Canine Dimensions; (b) failure, refusal, or neglect to promptly submit financial or other information Canine Dimensions requires; (c) fail, refuse, or neglect to spend the required local advertising expenditure; (d) fail, refuse, or neglect to obtain Canine Dimensions's prior written approval or consent when consent is required; (e) violation of any provision of the Franchise Agreement concerning the use and protection of the Marks or Confidential Information.
However, some defaults are not curable. These include, but are not limited to: failure to open; abandoning the Franchised Business; conviction of a felony, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, theft, animal cruelty, burglary; threat to public health or safety; unapproved transfer; failure to comply with in-term covenants; failure to satisfactorily complete training program; disclosure of confidential information; repeated defaults; bankruptcy, insolvency or appointment of receiver.
