What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination or expiration of the Development Agreement, the developer has specific obligations regarding their telephone numbers. The Alloy developer must assign all rights, title, and interest in their telephone numbers to Alloy or its designee.
Additionally, the developer is required to notify the telephone company and all listing agencies about the termination or expiration of their right to use any telephone number associated with Alloy's trademarks in any directory listing. This includes regular, classified, and other telephone directory listings.
Furthermore, the developer must authorize the transfer of these telephone numbers as directed by Alloy. This ensures that Alloy maintains control over its brand representation and customer communication channels even after a Development Agreement ends. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising to protect brand consistency.
