- 5.4 Advisory Councils. You agree to participate in, and, if required, become a member of any advisory councils or similar organizations we form or organize for Clinic franchises. We will select the advisory council's members, and we may change or dissolve the advisory council at any time. We anticipate that an advisory council would serve in an advisory capacity, but may grant to the advisory council any operational or decision-making powers that we deem appropriate. We, or one of more of our affiliated companies or persons, may also offer separate, optional, advisory councils or groups that may have additional costs to you should you decide to participate.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Healthsource Chiropractic has the authority to modify or terminate the advisory council. Franchisees are required to participate in any advisory councils that Healthsource Chiropractic establishes for Clinic franchises, and Healthsource Chiropractic selects the members of these councils.
Healthsource Chiropractic retains the right to change or dissolve the advisory council at any time. While the advisory council primarily serves in an advisory capacity, Healthsource Chiropractic may grant it operational or decision-making powers as deemed appropriate.
Healthsource Chiropractic, or its affiliates, may also offer separate, optional advisory councils or groups, which may involve additional costs for franchisees who choose to participate.
