What action must a Management Recruiters franchisee take regarding fictitious or assumed name registrations after termination or expiration?

According to Management Recruiters' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, after the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, a franchisee must take specific actions regarding fictitious or assumed names. The franchisee is required to take all necessary or appropriate actions to cancel all fictitious or assumed name or equivalent registrations related to the franchisee's use of any of Management Recruiters' marks. This ensures that the franchisee no longer uses names that could be associated with the Management Recruiters brand.

Additionally, the franchisee must provide evidence to Management Recruiters within thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration date, demonstrating that they have complied with all obligations, including the cancellation of fictitious or assumed names. This evidence must be satisfactory to Management Recruiters, ensuring that the franchisee has properly discontinued the use of any names associated with the franchise.

These requirements are designed to protect Management Recruiters' brand and prevent any confusion or unauthorized use of its trademarks after a franchise agreement ends. Failing to comply with these post-termination obligations could potentially lead to legal repercussions or disputes with Management Recruiters. Therefore, it is crucial for franchisees to understand and adhere to these stipulations outlined in the Franchise Agreement.
