What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each principal and manager of an Area Developer must sign a confidentiality and non-competition agreement. This agreement must be in the form attached as Attachment C to the Franchise Agreement, or in another form prescribed by Amorino.
These agreements are put in place to protect Amorino's confidential information and trade secrets. The agreement ensures that principals and managers with access to sensitive information, such as operational methods and marketing techniques, are legally bound to maintain confidentiality and refrain from engaging in competitive activities that could harm the Amorino system.
Principals and managers should carefully review the terms of Attachment C, as it outlines the specific restrictions and obligations they will be subject to. Prospective Area Developers should discuss the implications of this agreement with legal counsel to fully understand their responsibilities and potential liabilities. The franchisor also has the right to modify the scope of any covenant set forth in Section 18, or any portion thereof, without consent of the principal.
