What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Degree Wellness Franchise Disclosure Document states that if a franchisee does not take requested actions within 10 days after notice from Degree Wellness, Degree Wellness has the right to enter the premises and make required changes at the franchisee's expense. The franchisee must then reimburse Degree Wellness for those expenses on demand.
This means that Degree Wellness does provide a 10-day notice before entering the premises to make changes if the franchisee fails to comply with their requests. This allows the franchisee a window to rectify the situation themselves before Degree Wellness intervenes directly.
This clause protects Degree Wellness's brand standards and ensures that franchisees maintain the required standards. It also places a financial responsibility on the franchisee to cover the costs of any necessary changes made by Degree Wellness due to non-compliance, which is a fairly standard practice in franchising.
