What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Alloy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Alloy grants the franchisee the right to develop and operate the number of Alloy Facilities as set forth in Appendix B within the territory described in Appendix C, known as the Development Territory. The franchisee is bound by the development schedule outlined in Appendix B. Time is of the essence for the development of each Facility in accordance with the Development Schedule, and each Facility must be developed and operated under a separate Franchise Agreement.

If the franchisee complies with the Development Schedule, Alloy will not develop, operate, or grant anyone else a franchise to develop and operate an Alloy facility in the Development Territory before the agreement's expiration or termination, the date the Franchise Agreement for the last Facility must be executed, or the date the Authorized Location for the final Facility is determined. However, this is subject to exceptions for Special Sites, as defined in the agreement. Upon the earliest occurrence of any of these events, the franchisee's right to develop additional Facilities expires, and Alloy can develop and operate or franchise others to do so in the Development Territory, except as provided under any existing Franchise Agreement.

The rights granted are limited to developing Facilities within the Development Territory and do not include the right to sell products and services identified by the Trademarks at any location or through other distribution channels, except at Facilities within the Development Territory under the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee also cannot sell products and services identified by the Trademarks for resale or further distribution. Alloy retains all rights not expressly granted to the franchisee and may establish or license others to establish franchised or company-owned Facilities at any location, regardless of proximity to the franchisee's Designated Area. Alloy can also engage in Merger/Acquisition Activity with any businesses, even those in competition with Alloy.
