Where in the Amorino Area Development Agreement can I find information about confidentiality and non-competition agreements for principals and managers?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 22, Section 8.4 of the Area Development Agreement outlines the confidentiality and non-competition agreements required for principals and managers. It states that each principal and manager of the Area Developer must sign and deliver a confidentiality and non-competition agreement to the company. This agreement should be in the form attached as Attachment C to the Franchise Agreement, or in another form prescribed by Amorino.

This requirement ensures that key individuals associated with the Area Developer are legally bound to protect Amorino's confidential information and refrain from competitive activities, both during and after their association with the franchise. Attachment C likely contains the specific terms and conditions of these agreements, detailing what constitutes confidential information, the scope and duration of the non-competition clauses, and the remedies available to Amorino in case of a breach.

Prospective Area Developers should carefully review Attachment C to fully understand the obligations and restrictions placed on their principals and managers. They should also inquire about any other forms that Amorino might prescribe, as these could contain different or additional terms. Understanding these agreements is crucial for ensuring compliance and avoiding potential legal issues down the line. Furthermore, it is important to note that failure of any principal or manager to comply with these covenants can be grounds for termination of the franchise agreement, as stated in section 9.1.
