What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the ability to terminate the Multi-Unit Development Agreement (MUDA) at any time. This provides the franchisee with flexibility in their development plans.
However, it's important to note that while the franchisee can terminate the MUDA, Desi District Franchise Group also has specific conditions under which they can terminate the agreement. These conditions include the franchisee failing to meet the development schedule or if Desi District has the right to terminate any franchise agreement with the franchisee due to default.
This clause in the MUDA offers a degree of freedom for the franchisee but also highlights the importance of adhering to the development schedule and maintaining compliance with all brand requirements and agreements to avoid potential termination by Desi District Franchise Group.
