If the Licensed Provider for a Degree Wellness franchise is an entity, what representation is made about the agreement's authorization?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Licensed Provider is an entity, there are specific representations made regarding the agreement's authorization. The agreement must be authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Licensed Provider. This means that the entity (e.g., a corporation or LLC) has followed its internal procedures to approve the agreement.

Furthermore, the agreement must be a valid and binding agreement of the Licensed Provider, enforceable in accordance with its terms. This ensures that the agreement is legally sound and that the Licensed Provider is obligated to fulfill its commitments. The individual signing the agreement on behalf of the Licensed Provider must be duly authorized to enter into and execute the agreement. This confirms that the person signing has the legal authority to bind the entity to the terms of the agreement.

These representations are crucial for Degree Wellness as they ensure that the agreement is legally sound and enforceable, protecting the interests of all parties involved. A prospective franchisee should verify that all necessary corporate actions have been taken and that the signatory has the proper authorization to avoid potential legal challenges in the future.
