What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has 10 days after the termination of their Franchise Agreement to de-identify their franchise premises and discontinue the use of Healthsource Chiropractic's Marks.
If the franchisee fails to meet this obligation within the specified timeframe, Healthsource Chiropractic is irrevocably appointed as the franchisee's attorney-in-fact. This appointment grants Healthsource Chiropractic the authority to take necessary actions to de-identify the franchise premises and enforce the discontinuation of the use of their Marks.
In addition to de-identifying the premises and ceasing the use of the Marks, the franchisee must also execute any documents and take necessary steps to delete their listings from classified telephone directories and disconnect or assign all telephone numbers to Healthsource Chiropractic.
