What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic Franchise Disclosure Document, the circumstances for immediate termination of the HIPAA agreement are not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts. However, the document does outline conditions under which the franchise agreement can be terminated, which may indirectly affect the HIPAA agreement.
Specifically, HealthCore has the right to immediately suspend or terminate service as elsewhere provided in the agreement. Additionally, HealthCore can terminate the agreement with a 30-day prior written notice to the customer, with service terminating on the last day of the month following the notice. The customer also has the right to terminate the agreement after the first 180 days, given their HealthSource Chiropractic franchise has terminated or expired, with a 30-day prior written notice to HealthCore. Service will terminate on the last day of the month following the customer's notice of termination.
Furthermore, the agreement is subject to suspension or termination upon notice to the customer if the customer ceases to be a franchisee in good standing with HealthSource Chiropractic, and HealthSource Chiropractic notifies HealthCore of this status. These terminations are tied to the franchise agreement and the franchisee's standing, rather than direct violations of HIPAA itself.
To fully understand the conditions for immediate termination of the HIPAA agreement, a prospective franchisee should directly ask Healthsource Chiropractic for specific details on what actions or breaches would lead to immediate termination of the HIPAA agreement, as this is not clearly defined in the provided FDD excerpts.
