What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of termination of the agreement for any reason, a franchisee has specific requirements regarding Ceridian's property. The franchisee must immediately cease using or accessing the Platform. Additionally, the franchisee is required to return any and all property of Ceridian that is in their possession or control to Ceridian within five days of the termination date.
Furthermore, the franchisee remains liable for all obligations to Ceridian that occurred prior to the termination and resulting from the termination. The franchisee must also comply with all post-termination obligations outlined in the Program Usage Agreement.
These stipulations ensure that upon termination, the franchisee promptly relinquishes all access to and use of Ceridian's platform and returns any physical property belonging to Ceridian. This protects Ceridian's assets and intellectual property while also ensuring that the franchisee remains responsible for any outstanding financial obligations or other duties as defined in the Program Usage Agreement.
