What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Cinch I.T.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Execution Deadline refers to the date by which a franchisee must execute a Franchise Agreement for each Cinch I.T. Franchised Business. This deadline is detailed in Addendum B of the agreement.
The document specifies that, with the exception of the Franchise Agreement executed concurrently, the Execution Deadline must be no later than six months prior to the Projected Opening Date for each subsequent Cinch I.T. Franchised Business to be developed. The Projected Opening Dates are established in Addendum B and are considered reasonable and consistent with the Development Schedule.
Failure to adhere to the Development Schedule, including meeting the Execution Deadline, constitutes a material event of default under the agreement. This means that if a franchisee does not execute the Franchise Agreement by the specified deadline, Cinch I.T. has grounds to declare a default, which could lead to termination of the agreement. Therefore, it is crucial for prospective franchisees to be aware of and comply with these deadlines to avoid potential penalties and maintain a good standing with Cinch I.T.
