What happens if there is a conflict between the Hydrodog Assignment and any agreement with the Telephone Company?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Assignment of Telephone Numbers and Listings will take precedence over any conflicting terms in agreements or contracts that the franchisee may have with the Telephone Company. This means that if there's a disagreement between the terms of the Assignment and any existing agreement you have with the phone company, the conditions outlined in the Assignment will be the ones that are enforced.

This is significant for a prospective Hydrodog franchisee because it clarifies the company's control over the telephone numbers and listings associated with the Hydrodog business. Upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, Hydrodog has the right to these numbers and listings. This clause ensures that Hydrodog's interests are protected and that the franchisee cannot use conflicting agreements with the phone company to retain control of these assets.

As a potential franchisee, it would be prudent to carefully review the Assignment document and understand its implications, particularly concerning the transfer of telephone numbers and listings upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. It would also be wise to consult with an attorney to fully understand your rights and obligations in relation to both the Assignment and any agreements you may have with the Telephone Company.
