Where does Crawlspace Medic require non-binding mediation to take place?

According to Crawlspace Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if claims are not resolved internally, Crawlspace Medic may require non-binding mediation. This mediation must occur at Crawlspace Medic's headquarters, which are located in Columbia, South Carolina.

This means that if a dispute arises between a franchisee and Crawlspace Medic that cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, Crawlspace Medic has the option to require the franchisee to participate in non-binding mediation.

Since the mediation is non-binding, the franchisee is not obligated to accept the outcome of the mediation. However, the franchisee will be required to travel to Columbia, South Carolina to participate in the mediation process, which could involve significant travel expenses and time away from their Crawlspace Medic business. Franchisees should factor in these potential costs when evaluating the franchise opportunity.
