In the Clear Pest Pros franchise agreement, what does the term 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' include?

According to the 2025 Clear Pest Pros Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' refer to Clear Pest Pros franchisee(s), Company Store(s), and/or Safer Home Services North America, LLC. These entities collectively constitute 'Clear Pest Pros Affiliates.'

This definition is important for a prospective franchisee because it clarifies who the franchisee is contracting with and the scope of the agreement. The franchisee's relationship extends not only to the franchisor, Safer Home Services North America, LLC, but also potentially to other franchisees and company-owned stores within the Clear Pest Pros system. This could impact various aspects of the franchise operation, including support, competition, and brand standards.

Understanding the definition of 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' is crucial for interpreting the rights and obligations outlined in the franchise agreement. For example, Clear Pest Pros may reserve certain rights or impose certain obligations that apply not just to the franchisor entity but also to its affiliates, potentially affecting the franchisee's business operations and relationship with the broader Clear Pest Pros network.
