What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Stretch Zone Franchise Disclosure Document, the security interest secures the payment and performance of all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of any kind from the franchisee/debtor to Stretch Zone Franchising LLC, the franchisor/secured party. This includes any debts, obligations, and liabilities that currently exist or may arise in the future.
Specifically, this security interest covers obligations arising directly between the franchisee/debtor and Stretch Zone. This encompasses the franchisee's obligations under both the Area Development Agreement and the Franchise Agreement. These agreements collectively define the "Obligations" that are secured by the security interest.
In practical terms, this means that Stretch Zone has a legal claim on the franchisee's assets to ensure that all financial and contractual obligations are met. If a franchisee fails to meet these obligations, Stretch Zone can take action to recover the amounts owed, potentially including seizing assets to cover the debt. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Area Development Agreement and Franchise Agreement to fully understand the scope of these secured obligations and the potential consequences of default.
