What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Care Plus Medical Ucc's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Care Plus Medical Ucc has the authority to modify the Brand Standards Manual. Specifically, Care Plus Medical Ucc can supplement, revise, or modify the manual and change, add, or delete System Standards at any time, according to its discretion.
This means that a Care Plus Medical Ucc franchisee must stay updated on any changes to the manual, as these changes can occur at any time.

In case of disputes about the manual's contents, Care Plus Medical Ucc's master copy will be the controlling reference.
This provision gives Care Plus Medical Ucc broad authority to adapt its standards, but it also places a responsibility on the franchisee to remain current with the latest mandates. Franchisees should proactively seek updates and clarifications to ensure compliance and avoid potential disputes.
