Can a Chem Dry franchisee be terminated for non-compliance with laws?

According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can be terminated for non-compliance with laws. The FDD outlines various provisions related to termination in Item 17.

Specifically, the table summarizes conditions that could lead to termination. Among these are violations of laws, alongside other issues such as unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, misuse of Chem-Dry cleaning solutions, repeated failures to meet obligations, bankruptcy-related events, or termination of another franchise agreement.

This means that Chem Dry franchisees must ensure they operate their businesses in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Failure to do so could result in the termination of their franchise agreement, leading to a loss of their investment and the right to operate under the Chem Dry brand. Prospective franchisees should carefully review all relevant laws and regulations and seek legal counsel to ensure they understand their obligations and avoid potential violations.
