11.9 Site Approval
You must also select your business office site within the Territory (the "Office Site"), and we must approve such Office Site in our sole discretion. You may not locate your office outside of the Territory without our express written consent. If your Office Site is located outside of the Territory (pursuant to our prior permission), you agree that if a Clear Pest Pros franchisee purchases the Territory where your Office Site is located, or if a Company Store is opened, you will move the location of your Office Site to another site approved in writing by us, unless you have obtained written authorization from Clear Pest Pros, as well as from the new Clear Pest Pros franchisee. Your Office Site may be your home or a commercial space.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Clear Pest Pros Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must select a business office site within their designated territory, and Clear Pest Pros must approve this site. While the office site can be either a home or a commercial space, franchisees cannot locate their office outside of their territory without express written consent from Clear Pest Pros.
If a Clear Pest Pros franchisee's office site is located outside of their territory with prior permission and another franchisee purchases the territory where the office site is located, the franchisee must move the location of their office site to another site approved in writing by Clear Pest Pros. This is unless they have obtained written authorization from Clear Pest Pros, as well as from the new Clear Pest Pros franchisee.
Clear Pest Pros must approve the franchisee's business site. To approve a site, Clear Pest Pros will consider factors such as its size, condition, orientation within the Territory, its co-tenants, and traffic patterns.
