What does Amorino represent regarding its right to sublicense the Proprietary Marks?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino represents that it has obtained a license from its affiliate to use and sublicense the Proprietary Marks and Copyrighted Materials to franchisees. This license allows franchisees to operate under the Amorino brand, utilizing its trademarks and copyrighted materials in accordance with the franchise agreement.

This representation is crucial for prospective franchisees as it confirms that Amorino has the legal right to grant them the authority to use the brand's intellectual property. Without this right, franchisees would be unable to legally operate under the Amorino name and system. The agreement also stipulates that the franchisee acknowledges Amorino or its affiliate owns all rights to the Proprietary Marks and Copyrighted Materials.

The franchisee must use the Proprietary Marks only as designated and authorized by Amorino, including using the appropriate symbols such as "®", "TM", or "SM". Furthermore, the franchisee cannot contest the ownership or validity of the Proprietary Marks or take any action that could negatively impact Amorino's rights to use or sublicense these marks. This ensures that the brand's intellectual property is protected and consistently used across all franchise locations.
