AmeriSpec offers its franchisees a "Designated Territory" that comes with certain protections, though it is not classified as an exclusive territory. The franchisor agrees not to enter into another franchise agreement with a competing AmeriSpec franchisee within this protected area, provided the current franchisee meets specified performance criteria.
These include maintaining certain revenue growth metrics, market share benchmarks, and compliance with franchise obligations. However, the protection is conditional and can be lost if performance standards are not upheld. AmeriSpec retains the right to modify the boundaries or revoke protection if a franchisee fails to meet these standards over time.
