Franchisee's failure to comply with any of Franchisor's other System standards and specifications in the operation of the Franchised Business as set forth in the Manuals; and (ii) fails to cure such breach or violation within thirty (30) days of the date Franchisee is provided with notice thereof by Franchisor.
- D. Loss of Designated Territory.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Franchisee is in default of this Agreement under Section 6(Z), Franchisor may, in its sole discretion and as an alternative to terminating this Agreement, elect to reduce the size of Franchisee's Designated Territory and own and operate, or license another to operate, additional Spray-Net businesses in the Designated Territory.
In the event Franchisor elects to reduce Franchisee's Designated Territory and/or terminate Franchisee's exclusive rights therein, Franchisor will provide Franchisee with written notice thereof.
Upon receipt of such notice, Franchisee will have ten (10) calendar days to execute an addendum to this Agreement detailing the revised boundaries of the Designated Territory and/or termination of exclusive rights therein.
If Franchisee does not execute this Addendum with the prescribed time period, then Franchisor may, at its option, immediate terminate this Agreement upon notice to Franchisee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document states that a franchisee has thirty days to cure a breach or violation after receiving notice from Spray Net. If the franchisee fails to address the issue within this timeframe, Spray Net has the right to terminate the agreement.
However, there is an exception regarding the loss of a designated territory. If a Spray Net franchisee defaults under Section 6(Z) of the agreement, Spray Net may choose to reduce the franchisee's territory instead of terminating the agreement. In this case, the franchisee has only ten calendar days to execute an addendum to the agreement detailing the revised territory boundaries.
If the franchisee does not sign the addendum within the ten-day period, Spray Net can immediately terminate the agreement. This highlights the importance of promptly addressing any notices from Spray Net and understanding the specific deadlines associated with different types of violations or breaches.
