What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Team Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement states that all provisions applicable to the Marks also apply to any additional trademarks, service marks, and commercial symbols authorized for use by the franchisee. This means that any rules, restrictions, or obligations a franchisee has regarding the primary All Team trademarks will automatically extend to any new trademarks or symbols the franchisee is later authorized to use.
This clause ensures that All Team maintains consistent control over its brand identity, even as it evolves. For a franchisee, this means they must manage any additional trademarks with the same care and adherence to brand standards as the original Marks. This includes usage guidelines, display requirements, and protection against unauthorized use.
This provision protects All Team's brand integrity and ensures consistent application of trademark-related rules across all authorized marks used by the franchisee. Franchisees should be aware that accepting new authorized marks does not come without obligations and that they must extend the same level of care to these marks as they do to the original All Team Marks.
