What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee or their affiliates cease to operate all of their Hyper Kidz businesses opened under the agreement, Hyper Kidz has the right to terminate the agreement. This is outlined in Section 9.1.9 of the FDD.
Hyper Kidz can terminate the agreement 30 days after providing written notice to the franchisee. This allows the franchisee a period to address and rectify the situation, if possible. However, if the defaults are not resolved within this 30-day period, the termination becomes effective.
This clause protects Hyper Kidz by ensuring that franchisees actively maintain and operate their businesses. Ceasing operations of all locations could indicate financial instability, lack of commitment, or other issues that could negatively impact the Hyper Kidz brand. The termination clause allows Hyper Kidz to sever ties with franchisees who are not upholding their operational obligations, safeguarding the brand's reputation and the interests of other franchisees.
