What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the software license granted to a franchisee is specific to that franchisee and does not extend to other parties, even if they use the same computer. This is explicitly stated in the Franchise Management Software License Agreement.

This restriction means that only the licensed Clear Pest Pros franchisee is authorized to use the Clear Pest Pros Franchise Management Software System on their computer. If other individuals, such as employees or family members, need to access the software, they would not be covered under the franchisee's license.

This condition protects Clear Pest Pros's intellectual property and ensures that only authorized users have access to the software. A prospective franchisee should be aware that sharing the software with unauthorized users would be a breach of the license agreement.

Clear Pest Pros also retains the right to issue new modules for the software, which may require separate licenses, adding another layer to the licensing structure. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all licensing terms to avoid potential penalties or termination of the license.
