What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Cinch I.T.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the length of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement franchise term is determined by Section 3 of the agreement. The term expires either on the completion date of the Development Schedule or upon the expiration of the term of the Development Schedule.
This means that the duration of the agreement is directly tied to the franchisee's progress in meeting the development milestones outlined in the Development Schedule. If a franchisee completes the development schedule early, the agreement expires on that completion date. Conversely, if the franchisee takes the entire allotted time in the Development Schedule, the agreement expires at the end of that period.
It is important for a prospective Cinch I.T. franchisee to carefully review Section 3 of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement to fully understand the implications of the Development Schedule on the term of the agreement. Additionally, Section 5 allows the franchisee to request two 90-day extensions.
