What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Casiola will communicate modifications and changes made to the Operations Manual to the franchisee with reasonable notice. This notice may be in the form of electronic communications, including emails, and if the Operations Manual is maintained on an online web-based platform, notifications within said platform.
Casiola will provide the franchisee with a reasonable period of time, as determined by Casiola, to implement changes and modifications to the Operations Manual. The franchisee is required to operate the franchised business in strict accordance with the standards, specifications, and requirements set forth in the Operations Manual. These standards include, but are not limited to, the approved services and products, system supplies, and authorized and designated suppliers, as of the effective date of the agreement, and as they may be supplemented, modified, changed, and/or replaced in the future and, from time to time, by Casiola.
This means that Casiola franchisees should regularly check their email and the online platform, if applicable, for updates to the Operations Manual. Franchisees must implement these changes within the timeframe provided by Casiola. Failure to comply with the updated standards could result in a breach of the franchise agreement.
