How does the Focalpoint Coaching franchise agreement define 'disability' in the context of the Franchisee or Managing Owner?

According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement defines 'disability' specifically in relation to the franchisee or their managing owner's capacity to manage and operate the franchised business.

The agreement states that 'disability' refers to a mental or physical condition that either prevents or is reasonably expected to prevent the franchisee or managing owner from effectively supervising the management and operation of the Focalpoint Coaching business. This definition is important because it triggers certain obligations and options within the franchise agreement, particularly concerning the transfer or termination of the agreement.

Specifically, in the event of death or disability, the franchisee's or managing owner's representative (executor, administrator, etc.) must either transfer the franchise interest to a third party or terminate the agreement. If a transfer is chosen, it must occur within 12 months and adhere to the agreement's transfer conditions. Failure to transfer within this period constitutes a breach of the agreement. This clause ensures business continuity or orderly termination in unforeseen circumstances, protecting both the franchisee's interests and Focalpoint Coaching's brand standards.
