VIII. OBLIGATIONS OF FRANCHISEE
A. Agency Openings. FRANCHISEE agrees to begin operation of the Agency and open its office within four (4) months after this Agreement is accepted by ATFC. Both the Temporary Services Business and the Permanent Placement Business will be operated out of the same office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FRANCHISEE may elect to provide Temporary Service Business at the beginning of its operations. However, it must add the Permanent Placement Business no later than four (4) months after FRANCHISEE signs this Agreement. Opening may be delayed only if such delay is caused by contingencies not within the control of FRANCHISEE, such as, acts of God, governmental restrictions, strikes or labor disputes, about which ATFC is notified within a reasonable period time of such delay. FRANCHISEE shall use its best efforts to cure any such delay and any such delay in completion shall be for a period of days equal to the number of days during which such event actually prevents completion.
B. Use of Marks and System. FRANCHISEE agrees, during the term of this agreement, to operate, advertise and promote the Agency business under the name or names designated by ATFC which currently includes "Resources in Food/RIF", "Food Team", "All Team" "All Team Staffing" and "Med Team Support Staffing" without prefix or suffix and to adopt and use the Marks and Systems licensed hereunder solely in the manner prescribed by ATFC. FRANCHISEE agrees to identify its Agency with a sign in compliance with applicable local ordinances and approved by ATFC.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section VIII of Item 22 discusses the obligations of the franchisee.
Specifically, the franchise agreement outlines several key responsibilities for the franchisee. These include opening the agency within four months of the agreement's acceptance by All Team Franchise Corporation (ATFC). The franchisee must operate both the Temporary Services Business and the Permanent Placement Business from the same office, although they can initially focus on Temporary Services. The Permanent Placement Business must be added no later than four months after signing the agreement. Delays are permitted only for events outside the franchisee's control, such as acts of God or governmental restrictions, provided ATFC is promptly notified.
The franchisee is also obligated to use All Team's designated names, Marks, and Systems in the manner prescribed by ATFC. This includes displaying an approved sign that complies with local ordinances. These stipulations ensure that the franchisee adheres to All Team's brand standards and operational procedures, maintaining consistency across all franchise locations.
