What is the timeframe for Ledgers to send notice and an opportunity to cure before terminating the agreement?

According to the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, Ledgers typically provides a 30-day notice and opportunity to cure period before terminating the franchise agreement. This applies if the franchisee violates any term or condition of the agreement, the Franchisee Operations Manual, or any other agreement with Ledgers, or if any amount owing to Ledgers is more than 30 days past due.

However, the standard cure period can be significantly different based on the state where the franchise operates. For example, the Wisconsin State Addendum modifies the standard agreement, requiring Ledgers to provide a 90-day written notice of proposed termination, allowing the franchisee 60 days to rectify any claimed deficiency. However, if the reason for termination is nonpayment, the franchisee only has ten days to remedy the default from the date of the notice.

It is important to note that these notice and cure provisions may not apply in all circumstances, such as insolvency or abandonment of the business. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the franchise agreement and any applicable state addenda to understand their rights and obligations regarding termination and cure periods.
