What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 12 of the agreement outlines certain franchisee obligations, and Hyper Kidz retains specific remedies if these obligations are not met. Specifically, Hyper Kidz can seek injunctive relief, which is a court order that would prohibit the franchisee from continuing the behavior that violates Section 12.
In practical terms, this means that if a Hyper Kidz franchisee acts in a way that breaches the terms outlined in Section 12, Hyper Kidz can go to court to obtain an order forcing the franchisee to stop the violating conduct. This remedy is available because the agreement acknowledges that violations of Section 12 could cause irreparable harm to Hyper Kidz for which monetary damages alone would not be sufficient.
In addition to injunctive relief, Hyper Kidz is entitled to any other legal or equitable rights and remedies available under the agreement or otherwise. This clause ensures that Hyper Kidz has access to a full range of legal options to address any harm caused by a franchisee's violation of Section 12, beyond just obtaining a court order to stop the behavior.
