What constitutes a 'curable default' under the Dog Haus Area Development Agreement?

I am unable to provide information about what constitutes a 'curable default' under the Dog Haus Area Development Agreement, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While Item 17 discusses termination, renewal, transfer and dispute resolution, it does not specifically define what defaults are considered 'curable' under the Area Development Agreement. The document does mention 'Non-curable defaults pursuant to Article 16 of your Franchise Agreement', but does not elaborate further.

For a prospective Dog Haus franchisee, understanding the distinction between curable and non-curable defaults is crucial. Curable defaults typically allow the franchisee a period to correct the issue and maintain the agreement, while non-curable defaults can lead to immediate termination.

To fully understand your obligations and rights, it is essential to ask Dog Haus for a comprehensive list of defaults and the specific cure periods associated with each. You should also inquire about the process for providing notice of default and the criteria Dog Haus uses to determine whether a default has been adequately cured. Reviewing Article 16 of the Franchise Agreement, as referenced in the FDD, will also provide additional information.
