What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's rights to their dedicated page on the Kidokinetics website are terminated upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement. Kidokinetics retains sole discretion and control over the website, including the right to discontinue it.
This means that when a Kidokinetics franchise agreement ends, the franchisee loses all rights to their dedicated page on the Kidokinetics website. This includes the content and any presence they had on that page. The franchisee will no longer have any claim to that online space, and Kidokinetics can repurpose or remove it as they see fit.
This is a standard practice in franchising, as the website and its content are considered part of the Kidokinetics brand and system. Upon termination or expiration, Kidokinetics needs to ensure consistent brand representation and control over its online presence. Therefore, franchisees should be aware that their online identity associated with Kidokinetics is tied to the duration of their franchise agreement.
