What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has the right to modify several aspects of the franchise agreement and the Clear Pest Pros system. Clear Pest Pros may periodically add to, modify, phase out, or change the System, including trademarks, uniforms, signs, vehicle types, telephone numbers, technologies, products, equipment, services, techniques, software, methodologies, and sales strategies. The franchisee is obligated to promptly implement these changes at their own expense.
Clear Pest Pros also has sole discretion and control over the website used for the business, including its timing, design, content, and continuation. The franchisor may modify the provisions related to the website. Additionally, Clear Pest Pros can modify System Standards, which franchisees must comply with immediately upon notification. These standards are specified and amended in the Operations Manual or in writing.
Furthermore, Clear Pest Pros can modify the minimum insurance requirements for franchisees with 30 days' prior written notice, and franchisees must comply within the specified time. The franchisee may request amendments to the Franchise Agreement, which will incur an administrative fee. Overall, the agreement allows Clear Pest Pros considerable latitude to make changes to the System Standards, website, and other operational aspects, requiring franchisees to adapt to these changes to maintain compliance and operate their business effectively.
