What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must immediately inform Healthsource Chiropractic of changes to Professional Laws that would cause the franchise's operation to violate those laws. This includes new Professional Laws. The franchisee must also provide their proposed method to comply with the Professional Laws, potentially including entering into a Management Agreement.
Additionally, a Healthsource Chiropractic franchisee must immediately notify Healthsource Chiropractic if they determine that any specification, program, standard, or operating procedure is contrary to their or their General Manager's professional judgment. This ensures that the franchisee's professional judgment and ethical obligations are maintained.
These notification requirements are crucial for maintaining legal compliance and ethical standards within the Healthsource Chiropractic franchise system. By promptly reporting changes in laws or conflicts with professional judgment, franchisees help Healthsource Chiropractic address potential issues and ensure consistent, lawful operation across all locations. This also protects the franchisee by ensuring they are operating within the bounds of the agreement and applicable laws.
