Anago Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You understand and agree that for the protection of the System and Proprietary Marks that quality control is necessary to ensure we and all our Franchisees not only continue growing but deliver the best quality of service. Therefore, You will permit Us and/or Our representatives to enter Your Premises or buildings where You are providing services at any time for purposes of conducting inspections. You will cooperate fully with Us and/or Our representatives in inspections by rendering assistance as we or they reasonably request and by permitting us or them, at our or their option, to observe how You are rendering the services, to confer with Clients and Your employees (provided, however, that if We notice any deficiencies in Your employees' performance, We will notify You of the deficiencies and You, in turn, will correct such deficiencies as described below). We may also remove samples of any products, supplies and materials in amounts reasonably necessary to return to Our office for inspection and record-keeping. The inspections may be conducted without notice at any time. The inspections will be performed in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the Anago Unit Franchise. We may videotape the inspections. Upon notice from Us, and without limiting Our other rights under this Agreement, You will take all steps necessary to correct immediately any deficiencies detected during inspections, including immediately stopping use of any equipment, advertising, materials, products, supplies or other items that do not conform to Our then-current requirements. If You fail or refuse to correct any deficiency, We have the right, without You claiming to the contrary, to enter Your Premises or office without being guilty of trespass or any other tort, for the purposes of making or causing to be made all corrections as required, at Your expense, payable by You upon demand.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must allow Anago or its representatives to enter their premises or buildings where they are providing services for inspections at any time. Franchisees are required to fully cooperate with Anago and its representatives during these inspections. This includes providing assistance as reasonably requested and allowing them to observe the services being performed. Anago may also confer with clients and the franchisee's employees during these inspections. If deficiencies are noted in an employee's performance, Anago will notify the franchisee, who is then responsible for correcting those deficiencies.
Anago also has the right to remove samples of products, supplies, and materials in amounts reasonably necessary for inspection and record-keeping. These inspections can be conducted without prior notice and may be videotaped. The inspections will be performed in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the Anago Unit Franchise.
If any deficiencies are detected during inspections, the franchisee must take all necessary steps to correct them immediately upon notice from Anago. This includes stopping the use of any equipment, advertising, materials, products, supplies, or other items that do not conform to Anago's current requirements. If the franchisee fails or refuses to correct any deficiency, Anago has the right to enter the franchisee's premises or office to make the necessary corrections at the franchisee's expense, which is payable upon demand.
