What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Dryer Vent Squad FDD, an Administrative Office is defined as a fixed location from which Dryer Vent Squad businesses are established, operated, and managed. This office serves as the central hub for overseeing the Dryer Vent Squad business.
Specifically, the franchisee establishes, operates, and manages the Franchised Business from the Administrative Office. The Franchised Business itself refers to the Dryer Vent Squad business that the franchisee owns and operates under the terms of the Franchise Agreement.
It is important to note that upon termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee is responsible for de-identifying the Administrative Office to ensure it no longer appears to be a Dryer Vent Squad business. This includes removing all distinctive features, signs, trade dress, and emblems associated with the Dryer Vent Squad system. The franchisor has the right to enter the premises to make these alterations at the franchisee's expense if the franchisee fails to do so in a timely manner.
