What happens if a Healthsource Chiropractic Licensed Provider violates health or safety laws?

According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee or any of their employees violates any health or safety law, ordinance, or regulation, or operates the franchise in a manner that presents a health or safety hazard to customers or the public, it constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement. This is a serious matter that can lead to significant repercussions for the franchisee.

Healthsource Chiropractic retains the right to terminate the franchise agreement if such violations occur. This means the franchisee could lose their right to operate under the Healthsource Chiropractic brand, potentially losing the business they have built. Additionally, Healthsource Chiropractic may choose to withhold certain performance obligations if the franchisee is not in full compliance with all duties and obligations, including those related to health and safety laws. This could include denying access to the Healthsource Chiropractic website or intranet, removing the franchise from business locator pages, or removing the franchise from lists for vendor discounts or alliance programs.

It is important to note that franchisees have sole responsibility for operating their franchise in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations relating to the practice of chiropractic medicine and physical therapy. This includes, but is not limited to, licensure, marketing and advertising, use of medical equipment and devices, and patient privacy. Franchisees are expected to have independently investigated these professional laws and confirmed their ability to operate in compliance. Therefore, it is critical for prospective Healthsource Chiropractic franchisees to prioritize adherence to all health and safety laws to avoid potential penalties and maintain a successful franchise operation.
