What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee or their owners intentionally misrepresent or omit material information during the application process, it constitutes a default of the Franchise Agreement.
Specifically, Deer Solution will provide written notice of the default, and the franchisee has only 10 calendar days to correct the issue to the franchisor's satisfaction. This cure period is relatively short, emphasizing the importance of honesty and accuracy during the initial application.
If the franchisee fails to adequately correct the misrepresentation within the 10-day period, Deer Solution has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement. This means the franchisee would lose their rights to operate under the Deer Solution brand, and would likely lose any initial investment made in the franchise. This highlights the critical need for transparency and truthfulness when applying for a Deer Solution franchise.
