Aerus Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The specific street address of the Franchised Business location will be provided in the Franchise Agreement. You will be granted certain rights to an area located in and/or around your Franchised Business. This is called the Area of Responsibility. The Area of Responsibility is not a set distance for all Franchised Businesses and will vary depending on the Program you choose to operate under, and the demographic and geographic nature of your location. 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.
Under the Standard Program and the Associate Program, the Franchise Agreement grants to you the limited right to offer and sell Products (other than the Beyond Products) to Approved Customers within the Area of Responsibility. Franchisees who sign a Beyond Addendum will also
have the limited right to offer and sell Beyond Products to Approved Customers within the Area of Responsibility. Franchisees who do not sign a Beyond Addendum have no rights to offer and sell Beyond Products.
The Franchised Business will be operated out of and from one or more Approved Locations and from no other physical location, except as may be permitted by us in writing, and you must cause any premises lease covering any Approved Location to include a Lease Rider in the form attached to the Franchise Agreement and included in Exhibit 2(a) or Exhibit 2(b) of this Disclosure Document.
