What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, if a Clear Pest Pros franchisee is renewing their franchise term, the initial franchise fee is waived. However, the franchisee must pay the then-current renewal fee, as outlined in Section 11.D of the Franchise Agreement. This renewal fee is non-refundable and is considered fully earned by Clear Pest Pros upon payment.
As a condition of entering into a renewal term, Clear Pest Pros may require the franchisee to purchase new or additional equipment, remodel or refurbish their vehicle or retail space, or perform other renovations, all at the franchisee's sole expense.
Furthermore, to be awarded a renewal franchise agreement, the franchisee may need to correct any provisions of the agreement they are not in compliance with, potentially requiring them to attend and successfully complete additional training. The franchisee must also sign the then-current franchise agreement and any ancillary agreements, which may include different royalty terms or territory definitions. Both parties must sign a mutual general release of claims. The franchisee may also be required to upgrade and remodel the Clear Pest Pros business to conform to the then-current Operations Manual, and must provide proof of their right to operate the business at the Office Site for the renewal term.
