Under what condition can Healthsource Chiropractic require a franchisee to discontinue using a Mark?

According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Healthsource Chiropractic reserves the right to change its Marks and the specifications for each when they believe that such changes will benefit the System. If Healthsource Chiropractic modifies or discontinues a Mark, the franchisee must promptly conform to any such changes at their own expense. Healthsource Chiropractic is not required to reimburse the franchisee for any loss of revenue due to any modified or discontinued Mark or for expenses in changing to, or promoting, a modified or substitute trademark or service mark.

This means that Healthsource Chiropractic can require a franchisee to discontinue using a Mark if they believe it will benefit the overall franchise system. This decision is at Healthsource Chiropractic's discretion, and they are not obligated to compensate the franchisee for any losses incurred as a result of the change.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding that the branding and marketing materials can change during the term of the agreement. The franchisee bears the financial responsibility for adapting to these changes, which could include costs for new signage, marketing materials, and other related expenses. This is a potential risk that should be considered when evaluating the Healthsource Chiropractic franchise opportunity.
