What is the duration of the Initial Term for a Dog Haus franchise agreement?

According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term for a Dog Haus franchise agreement is ten years. The initial term commences on the effective date and ends on the expiration date.

At the end of the initial term, a franchisee has the option to renew the franchise agreement. To do so, the franchisee must notify Dog Haus in writing at least twelve months before the expiration date. If the franchisee chooses to renew, a new franchise agreement will be created under the then-current form offered to prospective Dog Haus franchisees for successive renewal terms.

It is important to note that the agreement is not otherwise renewable beyond these renewal terms. The franchisee must meet certain conditions to be eligible for renewal, such as fulfilling all obligations under the existing agreements, renovating the franchised location to meet current standards, and not having committed three or more material defaults within a 12-month period.
