What is the 360 Painting franchisee required to do with Internet Companies upon direction from the franchisor?

According to the 2025 FDD, 360 Painting franchisees must execute the Internet Web Sites and Listings Agreement attached to the Franchise Agreement. This agreement, labeled as Exhibit C-3, along with the Telephone Listing Agreement (Exhibit C-4), is required simultaneously with the execution of the Franchise Agreement. This indicates that managing the franchisee's online presence and telephone listings is a key aspect of the franchise operation from the outset.

This requirement ensures that 360 Painting maintains control over its brand's online representation and customer communication channels. By having franchisees agree to these terms upfront, 360 Painting aims to standardize the customer experience and protect its brand reputation across all franchise locations. The Internet Listing Agreement likely outlines specific guidelines and obligations for franchisees regarding their online presence, including website content, social media activity, and online advertising.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must adhere to 360 Painting's directives regarding their online presence and telephone listings. They should carefully review Exhibits C-3 and C-4 to understand their obligations and restrictions. Failure to comply with these agreements could result in penalties or even termination of the franchise agreement. It is important to clarify with 360 Painting what specific actions or changes might be required concerning internet companies and listings to ensure full compliance.
