What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 8.3 of the Franchise Agreement defines 'cause' related to curable defaults.

Specifically, Ledgers can terminate the franchise agreement if the franchisee violates the agreement, the manual, or any other agreement with Ledgers. Termination can also occur if the franchisee owes monies to Ledgers that are more than 30 days past due.

However, these defaults are considered curable if the franchisee rectifies the breach within 30 days after receiving notice from Ledgers. This means a franchisee has a window to correct certain violations and avoid termination of the agreement.
