What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's phone number is not explicitly present in the contracts section. However, Item 11.8 discusses telephone usage. It states that the franchisee must obtain a new telephone number and listing at the franchisee's expense, listed under the "Kidokinetics" name, not the franchisee's personal or corporate name, and used exclusively for the Kidokinetics business.
This section further stipulates that upon expiration, transfer, or termination of the agreement, the franchisee must terminate the use of the phone number and assign it to Kidokinetics or their designee. Additionally, the franchisee is required to answer the telephone in the manner specified in the Franchise Operations Manual.
While the franchisee's specific phone number is not listed in Item 22, the FDD outlines the franchisee's obligations regarding obtaining, using, and transferring a phone number specifically for the Kidokinetics business. A prospective franchisee should inquire with Kidokinetics about where their specific phone number will be recorded and how it will be used during the franchise term.
