Who is included in the release of claims by the Clear Pest Pros Franchise Owner?

According to Clear Pest Pros' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the release of claims by the Franchise Owner(s) and Franchisee includes themselves, their employees, agents, heirs, successors, and assigns. It extends to every other person, firm, entity, and/or corporation succeeding to the interest of the Franchise Owner(s) and/or Franchisee.

This release acquits and forever discharges the Franchisor and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. It also covers every other person, firm, entity, and/or corporation succeeding to its interests. The scope encompasses any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, costs, losses, expenses, and suits of every conceivable kind, character, and nature, whether absolute or contingent, and whether known or unknown.

This means that when a Clear Pest Pros franchise owner agrees to a release, they are waiving their rights to pursue legal action against Clear Pest Pros and related parties for any issues that occurred before the date of the release. This waiver covers a broad range of potential claims, ensuring that Clear Pest Pros is protected from future liabilities related to past actions or omissions. Franchisees should carefully consider the implications before signing such a release, as it can significantly limit their legal options.
