Does the agreement to attempt internal dispute resolution for Kidokinetics survive termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement?

Based on the 2024 Kidokinetics Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement does not explicitly state that internal dispute resolution survives termination or expiration. However, the document does state that any obligation of the franchisee that contemplates performance after termination or expiration of the agreement is deemed to survive such termination or expiration.

Additionally, the franchisee's obligations upon termination or expiration of the agreement are outlined, including ceasing operations, discontinuing the use of Kidokinetics' marks, and adhering to non-disclosure and non-competition covenants. Specifically, the non-disclosure covenant regarding confidential information extends beyond the agreement's term and remains perpetually binding.

While the FDD details several obligations that survive termination, it does not directly address whether the specific process of internal dispute resolution continues to apply after the franchise agreement ends. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Kidokinetics whether the obligation to attempt internal dispute resolution remains in effect post-termination or expiration.
