Are future phone numbers associated with a Deer Solution business also assigned to the Deer Solution Franchising LLC?

According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will be utilizing accounts, information, phone numbers and Digital Media subject to strict requirements set forth in the Franchise Agreement. There is an agreement attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit 3 called the Assignment of Telephone Numbers and Digital Media Accounts. This assignment is for the benefit of Deer Solution Franchising LLC and its assigns.

This means that as a Deer Solution franchisee, any phone numbers and digital media accounts you use for your business will be assigned to Deer Solution Franchising LLC. This gives Deer Solution Franchising LLC control over these assets, which is a common practice in franchising to maintain brand consistency and control.

For a prospective franchisee, this implies that upon termination or transfer of the franchise, the franchisee will not retain ownership or control of the phone numbers or digital media accounts associated with the Deer Solution business. It is important to understand the implications of this assignment and how it may affect the franchisee's ability to market or operate a similar business in the future.
