What is the standard for Fly To Fit Franchise's de-identification instructions and procedures?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to "de-identify" their location within 30 days of termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. This means removing all Marks, signage, and trade dress associated with Fly To Fit, ensuring the location no longer appears to be a Fly To Fit business. The de-identification must be completed at the franchisee's expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of Fly To Fit.

Fly To Fit franchisees must comply with any reasonable instructions and procedures provided by Fly To Fit for de-identification. This implies that Fly To Fit has the authority to set specific standards and guidelines that franchisees must follow during the de-identification process. These instructions could cover aspects such as the removal of interior and exterior signage, repainting the premises, and removing any other branding elements.

If a franchisee fails to de-identify the location within the specified 30-day period, Fly To Fit has the right to enter the location and perform the de-identification themselves. In such cases, the franchisee will not be able to claim trespass or hold Fly To Fit accountable for any assets removed or altered, or for any damages caused during the de-identification process. This provision underscores the importance of franchisees adhering to the de-identification requirements promptly to avoid potential intervention by Fly To Fit.
