How are Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv franchisees expected to manage their franchise operations?

We license our AMIV™ franchisees in specified territories to own and to operate a business that provides mobile intravenous (or "IV") vitamin therapies and medication and hydration infusion services for the benefit of subscribing members and the general public under the direction of a medical director and using the AMIV™ names and marks and our Method of Operation. Unless you are permitted to practice medicine under your state's laws, you will not practice medicine.

To operate an AMIV™ franchise, you must sign the Franchise Agreement with us. You will own the assets of the franchised business and provide the medical director and staff with management, administrative services, and general business and operational support consistent with our system and Method of Operation to provide IV vitamin therapy services and related products and services consistent and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Franchise Agreement does not make you our agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant for any purpose. You will be an independent contractor and will not be authorized to make any contract, agreement, warranty or representation or to create any obligation, express or implied, for us.

We will provide to you online access to our Operations Manual. We may amend the Operations Manual, including changes that may affect minimum requirements for your franchise operations. You will strictly follow the requirements of the Operations Manual as we amend it. You will carry out immediately all changes at your cost, unless we otherwise specify. We reasonably may designate minimum standards for operations and designate guidelines, as specified in the Operations Manual. The Operations Manual is confidential and our exclusive property.

The Operations Manual contains the AMIV™ System and related specifications, standards, operating procedures, accounting and bookkeeping methods, marketing programs and ideas, advertising guidelines, style guidelines, operation requirements, public relations guidelines, service guidelines and other rules that we may prescribe.

You must purchase all AMIV™ advertising materials from us or approved suppliers to ensure uniformity and quality of the advertising. Any equipment, products, inventory, or other items that bear the AMIV™ logo or have the words "AMIV" or "Advanced Mobile IV" in them must be bought from us or an approved supplier.

To provide you and us with current and accurate financial reports, we currently require that you use required accounting software and use our designated accounting service vendor to set up your chart of accounts, to integrate with our system, and for ongoing accounting services. We intend that the designated accounting service will be an outside vendor, but we reserve the right to require you to pay to us a reasonable monthly fee for accounting services.

You must engage a medical director that you choose but that is approved by us in writing. We currently refer franchisees to some physicians that they can choose to affiliate with as their medical director. You may use another medical director approved by us. The medical director is responsible to review, oversee, and manage all patient bookings and patient care including care and services provided by any and all licensed healthcare professionals and staff who provide actual intravenous therapy and hydration services to be provided through the franchised business. Only licensed healthcare professionals may actually administer the intravenous therapies and hydration, such as registered nurses. You may not provide, control, or supervise the intravenous therapies or hydration services if you are not properly licensed and qualified. In states that have

You must use website and social media advertising vendors and accounting software that we designate. You must lease, purchase or otherwise acquire, from sources of your choice and at your expense, software, hardware and devices (including but not limited to programs, laptop or tablet devices, and Internet connection) which strictly conform to our specifications and the specifications of the required technology and software. Your total purchase costs for these additional computer systems will range from $1,500 to $2,000.

The technology and software attaches to a specific telephone number that you will use in all of your franchise advertising and promotional materials and in your franchise operations. We will own and exercise complete control of this telephone number. The telephone line and associated number are paid for by us from the Software Fees that you pay to us. We may turn off or prohibit you to use or access the phone number if you do not pay to us the Software Fees or if you are not otherwise in good standing under your franchise agreement with us. You will point and connect our telephone number that is assigned to your franchise to your own separate telephone line. You will use no other telephone number to advertise and promote your franchise.

You may not promote, offer, or sell any products or services relating to your franchise, or use any of the AMIV™ and ADVANCED MOBILE IV™ names or marks, through the Internet without our consent. You must acknowledge that we and our parent and affiliate are the lawful, rightful, and sole owners of www.AMIV.com domain name and website (the "Website") and unconditionally disclaim any ownership interests in any similar name, phrase or any similar Internet domain name. You and your owners agree not to register any Internet domain name in any class or category that contains the words ADVANCED MOBILE IV™, AMIV™, or any abbreviation, acronym, combination, derivative, or variation of these words.
