Does the governing law for Hydrodog include impending regulations for any statute?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the governing law for Hydrodog does not explicitly address impending regulations for any statute. However, Hydrodog requires franchisees to operate their businesses in full compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, government regulations relating to occupational hazards and health, construction warranties, worker's compensation insurance, immigration, unemployment insurance, construction permitting, workplace safety, and withholding and payment of federal and state income taxes, social security taxes, and sales taxes.

Hydrodog franchisees are responsible for securing and maintaining all necessary insurance, licenses, permits, and certificates required to operate their HydroDog Business. Franchisees are also responsible for any claims, liabilities, and costs associated with non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations. This means that franchisees must stay informed about any changes in the law and ensure their business operations are compliant.

While the FDD does not specifically mention how Hydrodog will inform franchisees of impending regulatory changes, it does state that Hydrodog may periodically modify System Standards, which may accommodate regional or local variations. These modifications may obligate franchisees to invest additional capital in their HydroDog Business and/or incur higher operating costs. Franchisees are obligated to comply with all modifications to System Standards within the specified time period, and failure to do so may result in penalties, including non-compliance fees, mandatory remedial training, suspension of rights, or termination of the agreement.
