What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Engel & Volkers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial term of the franchise agreement is ten years. If the franchisee meets certain conditions, they have the option to enter into a successor franchise agreement for an additional ten-year renewal term.

To qualify for renewal, the Engel & Volkers franchisee must provide written notice of their intent to renew at least six months before the initial term expires. They also must have substantially complied with all the agreement's provisions, including making all payments on time, and be in full compliance with the agreement at the end of the initial term.

Engel & Volkers refers to the initial term and the renewal term (if there is one) collectively as the "Term". Any obligations that would typically survive termination or expiration, such as indemnification obligations, will continue to apply even after the agreement ends.
