Can Chem Dry cancel or terminate unauthorized agreements or subleases entered into by the Chem Dry franchisee?

According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chem Dry has the right to cancel or terminate any unauthorized agreements or subleases entered into by the franchisee. This authority can be exercised for any reason that would entitle Chem Dry to cancel the agreement.

This provision grants Chem Dry significant control over the franchisee's business operations, particularly concerning the physical location and any related agreements. It ensures that the franchisee does not enter into agreements that could negatively impact the Chem Dry brand or the operation of the franchise.

For a prospective Chem Dry franchisee, this means that any lease agreements, subleases, or other contracts related to the business location must be approved by Chem Dry. Failure to obtain this approval could result in Chem Dry terminating those agreements. This clause protects Chem Dry's interests by preventing franchisees from entering into unfavorable or unapproved arrangements, but it also places a responsibility on the franchisee to seek prior authorization for such agreements.
