What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a franchise agreement terminates or expires, the franchisee is responsible for de-identifying the location. This means the franchisee must remove all Fly To Fit trademarks, signage, and trade dress from the premises.
The de-identification must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of Fly To Fit. The franchisee is also required to follow any reasonable instructions and procedures provided by Fly To Fit for de-identification. This ensures that the location no longer appears to be associated with the Fly To Fit brand.
If the franchisee fails to de-identify the location within 30 days after the agreement terminates or expires, Fly To Fit has the right to enter the location and remove the branding themselves. In this case, the franchisee will not be able to claim trespass or hold Fly To Fit accountable for any damage caused during the de-identification process. This clause protects Fly To Fit's brand identity and ensures a consistent brand image, even after a franchise ceases operation.
