What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when renewing a franchise, new renewal Franchise Agreements replace the original agreements. These new agreements are executed contemporaneously with a Mutual Release, continuing the franchisee's rights to operate a Clear Pest Pros business within a defined territory.
To be awarded a Renewal Term, a franchisee must sign the then-current franchise agreement and any ancillary agreements for Clear Pest Pros businesses. These agreements may include different royalty and/or territory terms. Both the franchisee and Clear Pest Pros must sign a mutual general release, in a form satisfactory to Clear Pest Pros, of any and all claims against each other and their respective affiliates. This requirement to sign a general release is subject to change at Clear Pest Pros's discretion.
As a condition of receiving a Renewal Term, Clear Pest Pros may require the franchisee to upgrade and remodel the Clear Pest Pros Business at their sole expense to conform to the then-current Operations Manual. The franchisee must also provide proof that they have the right to operate the Clear Pest Pros Business at the Office Site for the Renewal Term. If these conditions are not met, Clear Pest Pros may elect not to award a renewal franchise agreement.
