Does Chem Dry make any guarantees about the availability of the service provided and hosted by a third party?

According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chem Dry does not make any guarantees or warranties regarding the availability of the service, which is expected to be provided and hosted by a third party. While Chem Dry anticipates the service to be generally available during both regular and non-business hours, there is no assurance of uninterrupted access.

This lack of guarantee means that Chem Dry franchisees may experience periods where the service is unavailable, potentially impacting their ability to manage business data or conduct operations that rely on the service. Chem Dry does, however, reserve the right to perform regularly scheduled updates, systems maintenance, and emergency maintenance, which may also affect service availability.

Prospective Chem Dry franchisees should consider the potential impact of service interruptions on their business and inquire about the third-party provider's service level agreements and uptime guarantees. Understanding the frequency and duration of potential outages, as well as any recourse available in case of service disruptions, is crucial for making an informed investment decision. Additionally, franchisees should clarify what kind of support or transition assistance Chem Dry will provide if the service is discontinued.
