TERRITORY
Territory. You will be granted a specific territory (the "Territory") in which to locate your Franchise Business office and market your services. Your Territory will be defined as a specific geographic area identified using commonly understood state, county, municipal, street, landmark or postal area definitions. A typical territory will not contain a population exceeding 250,000 and will contain a population of at least 50,000. We will not establish or locate, or license another person to establish or locate, another ALL COUNTY® business office within your Territory.
The Territory area for your ALL COUNTY® business office you are granted will be determined after negotiation between you and us, carefully considering where you want to be located and whether the proposed area is available. No other ALL COUNTY® business office will be physically located in your Territory and that no other ALL COUNTY® business shall be authorized to conduct grass-roots marketing efforts in your Territory, defined as conducting direct mail campaigns or physically visiting real estate offices or other businesses in your Territory for the purposes of soliciting referrals. 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.
Activity Outside of Territory. You have the right to provide services to customer account locations located up to 50 miles from the principal business address for the Franchised Business.
We have the right to establish ALL COUNTY® business offices anywhere outside your Territory. Except for conducting grass-roots marketing efforts in your Territory, defined as conducting direct mail campaigns or physically visiting real estate offices or other businesses in your Territory for the purposes of soliciting referrals, we, our affiliates, or other franchisees have the right to conduct radio, television, or other advertising, or service customer accounts inside your Territory. We have the right to sell services and any ancillary products, whether or not using the Marks, inside or outside your Territory through distribution channels other than ALL COUNTY® businesses, including offering real estate advertising and listing services through Internet websites or through published materials that are distributed in your Territory. We do not have to pay you any compensation for soliciting or accepting orders inside your Territory.
You do not have the right to use other channels of distribution, such as the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing, or other directed marketing to make sales outside your Territory, unless we provide you with our prior written consent. You do not receive any options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises. We do not have to pay you any compensation for soliciting or accepting customer accounts from within your Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's territory is defined as a specific geographic area using commonly understood state, county, municipal, street, landmark, or postal area definitions. Typically, a territory will have a population between 50,000 and 250,000 residents. The specific territory is determined through negotiation between the franchisee and All County, considering the franchisee's desired location and its availability.
While All County will not establish another physical office within the franchisee's territory or authorize others to conduct grassroots marketing there, the franchise agreement does not grant an exclusive territory. Franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution. However, franchisees can provide services to customer account locations up to 50 miles from their principal business address.
All County retains the right to establish offices outside the franchisee's territory and conduct advertising or service customer accounts within the territory, except for grassroots marketing efforts. They can also sell services through other distribution channels, such as the internet, without compensating the franchisee. To maintain territory rights, franchisees must meet minimum performance standards, specifically gross revenue requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement. These requirements include a $150,000 minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement for the second 365 day period and a $250,000 minimum total Gross Revenue Requirement for each remaining consecutive 365 day period.
