All National/Regional Accounts will be considered our property and you will have no claim to them. As such, all National/Regional Accounts and related agreements will be negotiated, managed, and controlled solely by us even if you procure the National/Regional Account. If one or more locations of a National/Regional Account fall within your Area, we will first offer you the opportunity to provide such services on the terms and conditions that have been established with such National/Regional Account. You are not required to service a National/Regional Account and if you do not accept such offer in the manner and within the time period that we specify, we have the right to service the account ourselves, or may authorize other franchisees, licensees, or affiliate-owned agencies, to provide such services. Even if you fail to accept the job order to service a certain National/Regional Account, you may fill subsequent job orders once you have temporary staff or personnel candidates available. However, the decision to accept you as a provider of services for the National/Regional Account must ultimately rest with the National/Regional Account. All National/Regional Accounts will be billed by us, and Customer payments for National/Regional Accounts will be sent to us and we will forward these amounts to you.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a National/Regional Account is defined as a Temporary Service Business and Permanent Placement Business account with more than one location covered by an agreement (written or oral) for services not located solely within one franchisee's area. All Team retains the right to negotiate and manage these accounts, even if a franchisee procures them. These accounts are considered All Team's property, and franchisees have no claim to them.
If a National/Regional Account has locations within a franchisee's area, All Team will first offer the franchisee the opportunity to provide services under the terms established with the account. However, the franchisee is not obligated to accept the offer, and if they decline, All Team can service the account themselves or authorize other franchisees, licensees, or affiliate-owned agencies to do so. The ultimate decision to accept a franchisee as a service provider for a National/Regional Account rests with the account itself.
All Team handles the billing for National/Regional Accounts, and customer payments are sent to All Team, who then forwards the appropriate amounts to the franchisee. A list of National/Regional Accounts will be found in the Manual. If a franchisee obtains an account that is considered a National/Regional Account, they must refer it to All Team; however, All Team reserves the right to reject any such account in its sole judgment and discretion.
