What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Care Plus Medical Ucc Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement cannot be modified or amended verbally.
Specifically, Article 18.4 states that any modification or amendment to the agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties to be considered effective. This requirement ensures that all changes to the franchise agreement are documented and agreed upon by both Care Plus Medical Ucc and the franchisee, preventing potential misunderstandings or disputes that could arise from verbal agreements.
However, this provision does not limit Care Plus Medical Ucc's rights to modify the Manual or System Standards. This means Care Plus Medical Ucc can make changes to the operational guidelines and standards of the franchise system without a formal written amendment to the franchise agreement itself. Franchisees must stay informed of these changes through official channels, as outlined in the agreement.
