- 4.2 Relocation of the Territory. You may not operate your HydroDog Business from any location on a fixed or mobile basis other than through your mobile operations of the HydroDog Vehicle without our prior written consent. If, in our Business Judgment, there is a change in character of your Territory sufficiently detrimental to its business potential to warrant your HydroDog Business's relocation to a new geographic area comprising a new or modified Territory, we reserve the right to permit you to relocate your HydroDog Business to operate within a new or modified Territory, subject to your compliance with all of our System Standards. We reserve the right to deny any such relocation at our sole discretion. Any relocation will be at your sole expense. If you obtain our approval, you must reopen your HydroDog Business within the new or modified Territory as soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after our approval is given. Except as stated herein, you are not permitted to relocate your HydroDog Business or operate, promote or market outside your Territory.
