Ultra Pool Care Squad offers its franchisees a defined protected territory as part of their franchise agreement. The franchisor agrees not to establish or authorize another Ultra Pool Care Squad business offering pool care, cleaning, and maintenance services within the designated territory, provided the franchisee complies with the agreement.
This territorial exclusivity is limited and does not cover all services. Despite this protection, the franchisor and other franchisees may still offer pool repair services within the protected territory.
Additionally, the franchisee must conduct business solely within the assigned territory unless written permission is obtained. While marketing and operations are generally restricted to this area, the franchisor retains the right to allow operations outside it, including the possibility of revoking such permissions or reallocating territories if adjacent areas become franchised.
