What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 FDD, Alloy retains significant rights regarding the Alloy System. The Alloy System consists of specific equipment, operational methods, management procedures, training, advertising programs, and proprietary information. Alloy has the explicit right to change, improve, and further develop the System. This includes the Alloy App, a proprietary software application used for managing communication with coaches and clients.

Alloy also maintains rights regarding the Trademarks associated with the Alloy System. Alloy can modify and update the trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, and other commercial symbols used in the operation of the Alloy facilities. This control over branding elements ensures that Alloy can adapt its image and standards over time.

Furthermore, Alloy retains all rights not expressly granted to the franchisee in the franchise agreement. This allows Alloy and its affiliates to establish or license others to establish facilities, merge with other businesses, sell and distribute services and products under different marks, and develop or franchise special site locations such as military bases and airports, without compensating the franchisee. Alloy also has the right to offer and sell services or products associated with the System through any distribution channels, including the internet, without compensating the franchisee.
