What constitutes grounds for termination of the Zoomin Groomin franchise agreement if a franchisee commits a material violation of a law related to the Franchised Business?

According to the 2025 Zoomin Groomin Franchise Disclosure Document, failure to comply with federal, state, or local laws or regulations can lead to the termination of the franchise agreement. Specifically, if a franchisee fails to comply with any federal, state, or local law or regulation, including health, safety, building, and labor laws, and does not correct the noncompliance within 10 days after receiving notification, it can result in termination.

This means that a Zoomin Groomin franchisee must ensure their business operations adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. This includes maintaining compliance with health and safety standards, building codes, and labor laws. Failure to do so, and not rectifying the issue promptly after notification, provides Zoomin Groomin with grounds to terminate the franchise agreement.

It's important to note that even if the franchisee corrects the noncompliance after the 10-day notice, engaging in the same noncompliance again, whether corrected or not after a subsequent notice, can also lead to termination. Additionally, repeated failure to comply with one or more requirements of the franchise, regardless of whether corrected after notice, can also result in termination. This highlights the importance of continuous compliance and adherence to all legal and regulatory requirements for Zoomin Groomin franchisees.
