What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Precision Door Service's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not able to terminate the Development Agreement. Item 17 details the conditions for renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution related to the franchise agreement.
The table outlines various provisions within the Development Agreement, specifying which sections govern aspects like the term of the franchise, renewal options, and termination conditions. For instance, the term of the franchise is detailed in Section 4 of the Development Agreement, while defaults that can be cured are addressed in Section 6, allowing for 120 days to cure a development schedule default, or 30 days to satisfy a final judgement.
However, under the section "Termination by you", the summary states "Not Applicable", meaning that the franchisee does not have the option to terminate the agreement. This is an important consideration for potential franchisees, as it means they are committed to the full term of the agreement unless Precision Door Service terminates it due to a default. Franchisees should carefully consider this lack of termination option and discuss it with Precision Door Service to fully understand their obligations and potential risks.
