    • Item 12 · PDF p. 30 · 2025 FDD

      Our summary: Exclusive territory: No. The franchisor will not establish or allow a same-type Clear Lakes Dental office within the territory while the agreement is in force and the franchisee is not in material default, subject to stated exceptions.

      “Because we reserve certain rights with respect to your Territory (as described below in this Item), you will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control. However, we will not establish or allow others to establish a Clear Lakes Dental office (of the same type you operate) physically located within your Franchise Territory using our Marks and System so long as the Franchise Agreement is in force and you are not in default in any material provision of the Agreement”
