- E. Health and Sanitation. Your Facility must be operated and maintained at all times in compliance with any and all applicable health and sanitary standards prescribed by governmental authority. You also must comply with any standards that we prescribe. In addition to complying with such standards, if the Facility is subject to any sanitary or health inspection by any governmental authorities under which it may be rated in one or more than one classification, it must be maintained and operated so as to be rated in the highest available health and sanitary classification with respect to each governmental agency inspecting the same. In the event you fail to be rated in the highest classification or receive any notice that you are not in compliance with all applicable health and sanitary standards, you must immediately notify us of such failure or noncompliance.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if an Alloy facility is subject to health or sanitary inspections by governmental authorities that result in a classification rating, the facility must be maintained and operated to achieve the highest available health and sanitary classification from each inspecting governmental agency.
This requirement means that franchisees must consistently meet or exceed the standards set by local health departments or other regulatory bodies. Failure to achieve the highest rating or receiving notice of non-compliance requires immediate notification to Alloy. This ensures that Alloy is aware of any potential issues and can work with the franchisee to address them.
Maintaining a high health and sanitary rating is crucial for protecting the brand's reputation and ensuring customer safety. Failure to do so can result in penalties, temporary closures, or other enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, as well as potential damage to Alloy's brand image. This requirement underscores the importance of adhering to strict cleanliness and hygiene protocols in the operation of an Alloy franchise.
