What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to transfer or disconnect all telephone numbers and email addresses associated with their former Deer Solution business, as directed by Deer Solution. This includes transferring, disconnecting, or assigning telephone numbers, email addresses, yellow pages listings, web-based media listings, accounts, and login information.
Deer Solution directs how these digital assets are handled, and the franchisee must also cancel their interests in these items as instructed by Deer Solution. This obligation is formalized in the 'Assignment of Telephone Numbers and Digital Media Accounts,' which is attached as an exhibit to the franchise agreement.
This requirement ensures that Deer Solution maintains control over its brand's communication channels and customer access points, even after a franchise agreement ends. The franchisee must comply with these terms at no cost to Deer Solution, and these obligations survive the termination of the agreement until fully satisfied.
