What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Care Plus Medical Ucc's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or non-renewal of the franchise agreement, a franchisee is obligated to notify their phone, internet, and other service providers to transfer service. This means the franchisee must take action to discontinue or transfer these services out of their name or business entity.
This requirement ensures a clean break between the franchisee and the Care Plus Medical Ucc system. By transferring or discontinuing these services, the franchisee prevents any further association or potential confusion with the Care Plus Medical Ucc brand. It also ensures that Care Plus Medical Ucc is not responsible for any ongoing costs or liabilities associated with these services after the franchise agreement ends.
In addition to notifying and transferring services with providers, Care Plus Medical Ucc also requires franchisees to fulfill other obligations upon termination or non-renewal, including paying all amounts due, returning the Manual and proprietary items, ceasing business operations, and removing any identification indicating affiliation with Care Plus Medical Ucc. The franchisor also retains the option to purchase the franchisee's business.
