What constitutes refusing to cooperate with an audit or inspection by Care Plus Medical Ucc?

According to Care Plus Medical Ucc's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, refusing to cooperate with or permit any audit or inspection by Care Plus Medical UCC or its agents or contractors, or otherwise failing to comply with Section 10.5 or Section 11.2 of the franchise agreement, constitutes grounds for termination of the franchise agreement.

Section 11.2 outlines Care Plus Medical UCC's right to conduct inspections of the franchisee's business premises during normal business hours. Franchisees are required to cooperate with these inspections, which may include observing operations, conducting physical inventories, evaluating the physical condition of the premises, monitoring sales activity, speaking with employees and customers, and removing samples of products, supplies, and materials. Care Plus Medical UCC is also permitted to videotape and/or take photographs during the inspection. Failure to meet or exceed any minimum score requirement set by Care Plus Medical UCC for these inspections will be considered a default under the Franchise Agreement.

Section 10.5 was not included in the provided excerpts. A prospective franchisee should request a full copy of the Franchise Agreement from Care Plus Medical UCC and carefully review Sections 10.5 and 11.2 to fully understand the scope of required cooperation during audits and inspections and the potential consequences of non-compliance. Understanding these requirements is crucial for maintaining a good standing with Care Plus Medical UCC and avoiding potential termination of the franchise agreement.
