Are the rights and remedies available to either party under the Hydrodog Franchise Agreement exclusive of other remedies?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the remedies specified in the franchise agreement are not exclusive. Hydrodog retains the right to pursue any other legal remedies available to them, in addition to those listed in the agreement. Specifically, the agreement states that the non-compliance fee and banking notification are in addition to any other rights or remedies Hydrodog may have under the agreement or at law.

This means that Hydrodog has multiple avenues for addressing franchisee non-compliance, including but not limited to the remedies specifically outlined in the franchise agreement. This could include legal action, termination of the agreement, or other measures. The discretion to choose which remedies to pursue lies solely with Hydrodog.

For a prospective Hydrodog franchisee, this implies that even if certain penalties or fees are specified for a particular violation, Hydrodog is not limited to those remedies. They can pursue additional legal or equitable relief if they deem it necessary. This clause provides Hydrodog with significant flexibility in enforcing the franchise agreement and protecting their brand standards.
