What is Hydrodog's disclaimer regarding individual results compared to the financial performance representation?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance representation includes a disclaimer about potential franchisees' individual results. Specifically, Hydrodog states that while some outlets have achieved the represented sales figures, a franchisee's individual results may differ.

This disclaimer serves as a reminder that the financial performance data provided is not a guarantee of future success. Many factors can influence a franchisee's performance, including location, management skills, local market conditions, and competition. The disclaimer highlights the inherent risk in franchising and the importance of conducting thorough due diligence before investing.

Hydrodog explicitly states that there is no assurance that a new franchisee will sell or earn as much as the figures presented in the financial performance representation. This statement is a standard practice in franchising, intended to protect the franchisor from liability if a franchisee's business underperforms. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this disclaimer and conduct their own independent investigation, including consulting with financial and legal advisors, before making a decision.

In addition to the disclaimer, Hydrodog states that they do not make any other financial performance representations beyond what is included in Item 19 of the FDD, nor do they authorize employees or representatives to make such representations. If a prospective franchisee receives any financial performance information outside of Item 19, they are instructed to report it to Hydrodog's management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agency.
