What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer can have their development agreement terminated if they cease to actively engage in development activities in their designated area. To avoid termination on these grounds, the developer must not abandon their development business for three consecutive months.
This means a Deka Lash developer needs to consistently work towards opening new franchise locations within their development area. This includes tasks such as site selection, securing financing, and completing the necessary paperwork and training. Failure to demonstrate active engagement in these activities for a continuous three-month period could lead to the termination of the development agreement.
It is important for prospective Deka Lash developers to understand the implications of this clause. They should have a clear plan for developing their territory and be prepared to dedicate the necessary time and resources to meet their development obligations. If a developer anticipates a period of inactivity, they should communicate with Deka Lash to explore possible solutions or accommodations to avoid potential termination.
