What is the definition of 'material' as it relates to a judgment against a Canopy Lawn Care franchisee?

I am unable to provide a definition of 'material' as it relates to a judgment against a Canopy Lawn Care franchisee, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document excerpts provided. The excerpts do contain definitions of other terms used in the Franchise Agreement, such as 'Marks,' 'National Accounts,' 'Products,' 'Services,' and 'Trade Secrets.'

While the excerpts do not define 'material' in the context of judgments, they do specify that failure to pay Royalty Fees, Brand Fund Contributions, and other amounts payable to the Franchisor when due constitutes a material breach of the agreement. This highlights the importance of meeting financial obligations to avoid potential default.

A prospective Canopy Lawn Care franchisee should ask the franchisor for a clear definition of what constitutes a 'material' judgment or breach, including specific dollar thresholds or criteria that would trigger action by the franchisor. Understanding this definition is crucial for assessing the potential risks and obligations associated with the franchise agreement.
