What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Non-Disclosure Agreement is between Zoomin Groomin USA LLC and the "Recipient". However, the document excerpt does not explicitly state who the 'Recipient' is.
To find out who the 'Recipient' is, it is important to look at the signature block of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. The excerpt includes a table that shows Zoomin Groomin USA LLC as the recipient, with Sandra Stow, CEO, providing the signature. This seems counter-intuitive, as typically the franchisee is the recipient of confidential information and thus the party bound by the NDA.
To clarify this discrepancy, a prospective Zoomin Groomin franchisee should ask the franchisor for a full copy of the Non-Disclosure Agreement to understand who is bound by the agreement. They should also seek legal counsel to review the document and ensure they understand their obligations.
