Is a Kidokinetics franchisee relieved of their Franchise Agreement obligations while receiving Enhanced Business Coaching and Training Services?

According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for complying with all obligations of the Franchise Agreement, even while receiving Enhanced Business Coaching and Training Services. This means that the franchisee must continue to meet all requirements outlined in the agreement, such as maintaining standards, marketing, and financial obligations, regardless of any assistance or training they receive from Kidokinetics.

This clause ensures that Kidokinetics franchisees remain accountable for their business operations, even when benefiting from additional support. It reinforces the franchisee's responsibility to actively manage and develop their Kidokinetics business, rather than relying solely on the franchisor's assistance.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding and being prepared to fulfill all contractual obligations from the outset. The Enhanced Business Coaching and Training Services are designed to assist, but not replace, the franchisee's own efforts in running the business. Franchisees should view these services as supplementary tools to help them meet their existing obligations under the Franchise Agreement.
