What is the deadline for Crawlspace Medic to approve or disapprove advertising materials submitted by the franchisee?

According to the 2024 Crawlspace Medic Franchise Disclosure Document, Crawlspace Medic has a specific timeframe to review advertising materials submitted by its franchisees. Franchisees must submit all advertising, press releases, promotional plans, and public relations programs to Crawlspace Medic for approval, especially if the materials haven't been previously provided or approved by the company. This includes materials in any digital, electronic, or computerized form, or any form of media now or hereafter developed.

Crawlspace Medic is obligated to either approve or disapprove these submitted plans and materials within ten business days of receipt. This requirement ensures that franchisees receive timely feedback on their advertising efforts and can proceed with their marketing plans efficiently.

If Crawlspace Medic fails to respond within this ten-business-day period, the submitted plans and materials are automatically deemed "disapproved." This stipulation places the onus on Crawlspace Medic to actively review and respond to franchisee submissions within the specified timeframe. Franchisees are explicitly prohibited from using any unapproved plans or materials until they receive written approval from Crawlspace Medic. Furthermore, Crawlspace Medic retains the right to instruct franchisees to discontinue the use of any advertising or promotional materials, regardless of whether they were previously approved. This allows Crawlspace Medic to maintain brand consistency and address any potential issues with franchisee advertising.
