What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Termination Period" during which the customer has the option to terminate the agreement for any reason is a limited window of thirty (30) days. This termination option becomes available immediately following the eleventh month from the MSA Effective Date and then recurs every twelve months thereafter.
To exercise this termination option, the customer must provide written notice to Punchh of their intent to terminate, and this notice must be provided during the specified thirty-day "Termination Period." The termination will then become effective sixty (60) days from the date of the termination notice.
If Dq Treat does not receive a termination notice by the conclusion of the applicable Termination Period during the applicable year of the Term, the ability to terminate for convenience expires, and the Term continues in full force and effect until the next Termination Period. This means that the franchisee must be vigilant about adhering to the specific window each year to exercise their right to terminate the agreement for any reason.
