How far in advance must either party provide written notice to terminate the Exit Sales Representative Agreement without cause?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, either party (Exit or the Sales Representative) can terminate the Exit Sales Representative Agreement without cause by providing at least 30 days' written notice to the other party. This means that either party can end the agreement for any reason, or no reason at all, as long as they give the other party a written heads-up at least one month in advance.

This provision offers flexibility to both Exit and the sales representative. The sales representative isn't locked into the agreement if it's not working out, and Exit isn't obligated to continue the relationship with a representative who isn't a good fit, even if there's no specific breach of contract. The 30-day notice period allows the representative time to find other opportunities and Exit time to find a replacement or adjust staffing.

It's important to note that this is termination 'without cause.' The agreement likely also contains provisions for termination 'for cause,' which typically involve breaches of contract or other serious misconduct. Termination 'for cause' may not require the same advance notice, or any advance notice at all. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the entire agreement to understand all termination scenarios.
