What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) addresses dispute resolution through a negotiation process involving negotiating teams. According to the FDD, if a dispute arises, both parties—Floors To Go and the franchisee—are required to form a "Negotiating Team" to attempt to resolve the issue.
The FDD stipulates that these teams must commence meeting within ten days of receiving a Dispute Notice and negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days. However, the document does not specify any limitations on the number of representatives each side can have on their negotiating team.
Therefore, while the FDD outlines the process and timeline for these negotiations, it remains silent on the composition and size of the negotiating teams themselves. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Floors To Go the acceptable number of representatives on a negotiating team to ensure a fair and balanced negotiation process.
