What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Clear Pest Pros Franchise Disclosure Document, the second affirmation in Section 17 of the franchise agreement is amended. The original affirmation began with the phrase "We have not made." This affirmation is replaced with a new statement.
The amended affirmation now begins with the phrase "We ask that, before you execute this Agreement..." and continues with a request that the franchisee bring to Clear Pest Pros' attention any statements or representations made by their officers, directors, employees, or agents that contradict or are inconsistent with the FDD or the franchise agreement itself.
This change emphasizes the importance of the written documents (the FDD and the franchise agreement) as the primary source of information and representations regarding the Clear Pest Pros franchise. It also places a responsibility on the franchisee to identify and address any conflicting information before signing the agreement, potentially mitigating future disputes over misrepresented information.
