Regarding financial interests in my business, who is considered a relevant party about whom Amorino can request information?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you must represent and warrant to Amorino that neither you nor any of your Affiliates or Principals own, operate, or have any financial or beneficial interest in any business that is the same as or similar to an Amorino store. This means Amorino is concerned about potential conflicts of interest or competitive ventures that could arise if you or related parties are involved in similar businesses.

This requirement ensures that franchisees are fully committed to the Amorino brand and system, and are not diverting resources or expertise to competing businesses. It also helps Amorino maintain the integrity and consistency of its brand across all franchise locations.

Therefore, Amorino can request information about you, your Affiliates, and your Principals to ensure compliance with this representation and warranty. An "Affiliate" typically refers to entities controlled by or under common control with the franchisee, while "Principals" usually refer to the key individuals involved in the ownership or management of the franchise, such as partners, directors, or major shareholders.
