What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will provide each franchisee with a dedicated page on the Kidokinetics website. However, the franchisee may be required to prepare all or a portion of their dedicated webpage at their own expense. Kidokinetics will provide a template for the franchisee to use. All information posted on the franchisee's page is subject to Kidokinetics's approval before it is published.
This means that while Kidokinetics provides the platform for franchisees to have an online presence, the franchisee might have to pay for the creation of the content for their page. This could involve the franchisee's time or hiring a third-party to develop the content according to Kidokinetics's template and standards.
It is important to note that the franchisee does not own the rights to their dedicated page and will lose all rights to it upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement. Kidokinetics also retains sole discretion and control over the website, including the right to discontinue it. Franchisees should factor in potential website-related expenses and content creation into their initial investment and ongoing operational costs.
