What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, the Canopy Lawn Care franchise agreement mentions "any other agent of Lessor" in several contexts, but it does not specifically define or identify who these agents might be. The agreement uses this term when discussing liability, actions the Lessor or its agents may take, and benefits that extend to these agents.
Specifically, the FDD states that neither the Lessor, Servicer, nor any other agent of Lessor will be liable to the Lessee for any claims, losses, or damages related to the vehicles. This lack of liability extends to issues such as vehicle inadequacy, defects, maintenance, delays, or interruptions of service. Additionally, these parties are not liable if they cannot locate or purchase a vehicle ordered by the Lessee or for any delays in delivery.
Furthermore, the agreement stipulates that in the event of default by the Lessee, the Lessor, Servicer, or any other agent of Lessor has the right to enter premises to repossess vehicles. The agreement also states that it benefits the Lessor, Servicer, and any other agent of Lessor, along with their successors and assigns. Prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Canopy Lawn Care regarding the specific roles and responsibilities of these "other agents" to fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement.
