What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Zoomin Groomin Franchise Disclosure Document, Schedule 3, titled "Telephone & Internet Assignment," is included within the franchise agreement. This schedule outlines the terms regarding the franchisee's telephone numbers, listings, advertisements, social media accounts, domains, websites, directories, or similar items (collectively "Listings") related to their Zoomin Groomin franchise.
According to the schedule, upon the expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee's right to use these Listings terminates. The franchisee is obligated to pay all outstanding amounts connected to the Listings and must immediately take actions requested by Zoomin Groomin to transfer the Listings back to the franchisor or their designated agent. These actions may include transferring the listings, installing an intercept message, disconnecting the listings, or cooperating in the removal or relisting of the Listings.
Zoomin Groomin retains the right to require the franchisee to "port" or transfer all Listings to the franchisor or an approved call routing and tracking vendor. This ensures that Zoomin Groomin maintains control over the brand's online presence and customer communication channels even after a franchise agreement ends. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising to protect brand consistency and customer relationships.
