What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Clear Pest Pros Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be awarded a renewal franchise agreement. However, Clear Pest Pros may require the franchisee to correct any issues of non-compliance with the current agreement, potentially including additional training. Clear Pest Pros also reserves the right to deny a renewal if the franchisee has not substantially complied with the existing agreement during its term.
To obtain a renewal, Clear Pest Pros requires franchisees to sign the then-current franchise agreement and any related ancillary agreements. These new agreements may include different royalty and territory terms than the original agreement. Both Clear Pest Pros and the franchisee must sign a mutual general release, absolving each other of any claims.
Clear Pest Pros may also require franchisees to upgrade and remodel their Clear Pest Pros Business to meet the standards in the current operations manual as a condition of renewal. Franchisees must also prove they have the right to continue operating at their current location for the renewal term. These conditions ensure that renewed franchises align with Clear Pest Pros's current standards and practices.
