Under what circumstances might Hydrodog extend the deadline for reopening a relocated Hydrodog Business?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who obtains approval for relocation must typically reopen their Hydrodog Business within the new territory as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after approval is granted. However, Hydrodog may agree in writing to extend this 30-day period if circumstances beyond the franchisee's reasonable control prevent them from meeting the original deadline.

This provision offers some flexibility for franchisees facing unforeseen challenges during relocation, such as construction delays, permitting issues, or other logistical hurdles. It is important to note that any extension is not automatic; it requires written agreement from Hydrodog. This protects Hydrodog's interests by ensuring that relocations are completed in a timely manner while also providing franchisees with a potential safety net in case of unavoidable delays.

For a prospective Hydrodog franchisee, this clause highlights the importance of careful planning and preparation when considering relocation. While Hydrodog may be willing to grant extensions in certain situations, franchisees should not rely on this as a guarantee. Building a realistic timeline and anticipating potential challenges can help franchisees avoid the need for an extension and ensure a smooth transition to their new territory. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss with Hydrodog examples of circumstances that they would consider 'beyond reasonable control' to better understand the scope of this provision.
