What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee satisfies all other conditions for a Renewal Term, they must sign the current franchise agreement, any related agreements, and a mutual general release. The mutual general release must be in a form satisfactory to Clear Pest Pros. This release covers any claims between the franchisee and Clear Pest Pros, including their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns.
The FDD does not specify the number of counterparts in which the Clear Pest Pros Release can be signed. Franchise agreements often allow for signing in counterparts for convenience, enabling each party to sign a separate copy, which together constitute a fully executed agreement.
A prospective Clear Pest Pros franchisee should clarify with the franchisor whether the mutual general release can be signed in counterparts. This information is essential for understanding the signing process and ensuring compliance with Clear Pest Pros' requirements for the renewal of the franchise agreement.
