What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, the impact of prior notice on the termination of a franchise for violating laws depends on the specific violation. If a Deer Solution franchisee, an owner, or an employee violates anti-terrorism laws or becomes listed on the Annex to Executive Order 13244, Deer Solution may terminate the franchise agreement immediately without prior notice.
However, for other defaults, Deer Solution must provide written notice and a 10-day cure period. Specifically, if a franchisee is in default of the agreement, the agreement will be terminated unless the franchisee cures the default to Deer Solution's satisfaction within 10 calendar days of receiving written notice from Deer Solution.
This means that for certain severe violations like those related to terrorism, a Deer Solution franchisee faces immediate termination without an opportunity to correct the issue. For other violations, the franchisee has a short window to rectify the situation after receiving notice. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Deer Solution what other specific violations would lead to immediate termination without notice.
