What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has 10 days after receiving notice to remove or modify any interior or exterior decor that Healthsource Chiropractic deems necessary to disassociate the premises from the Healthsource Chiropractic brand image. This includes signage, posters, furniture, equipment, products, or display units bearing the Marks.
If the franchisee fails to comply within this 10-day period, Healthsource Chiropractic reserves the right to enter the premises and make the required changes at the franchisee's expense. The franchisee is then obligated to reimburse Healthsource Chiropractic for these expenses upon demand.
Furthermore, in the event of termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to take actions to cancel fictitious or assumed name registrations relating to the use of any Mark. If the franchisee does not take these actions within 10 days after termination of the agreement, Healthsource Chiropractic is irrevocably appointed as the franchisee's attorney-in-fact to take such actions.
