What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Mr. Sandless FDD, franchisees are required to maintain general liability insurance, including personal and advertising liability coverage. The required limits are $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate limit, with a per project aggregate. This per project aggregate provides a separate limit of liability for each active project.
The policy must include contractual liability coverage for both direct and vicarious liability claims. This means the insurance should protect the franchisee from claims arising from their own actions as well as the actions of others they are responsible for.
In addition to general liability, Mr. Sandless franchisees must also carry other types of insurance, including on-site limited warranty care, custody, control coverage, property coverage, auto liability, workers compensation/employers liability, and employer practices liability insurance. Each policy must name Mr. Sandless and its affiliates as additional insured parties and include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the additional insureds. Franchisees must provide renewal certificates to Mr. Sandless annually, and all policies must provide at least 30 days' prior written notice before cancellation, termination, modification, or reduction in coverage terms.
