What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisor grants the Subfranchisor access to Anago CleanSource. Specifically, the franchisor agrees to grant the subfranchisor access to a software program currently known as IGAS, an internet-based Software currently known as AnagoCloud, and an internet-based application currently known as Anago CleanSource during the term of the agreement. This access is subject to the terms of the agreement.
This access is part of a broader license that includes not only the software but also related materials to support the software. The subfranchisor receives a non-transferable and nonexclusive license to use the software and related materials as described in any schedule to the agreement signed by both parties. The term 'Software' includes any proprietary or third-party software to which Anago provides access for use in connection with the subfranchise business, including updates or new versions, but excludes source code.
The license for the software and related materials remains in effect for the term of the agreement, provided the Subfranchise Rights Agreement is in full force. This license can be terminated earlier if specified in the agreement. Upon expiration or termination of the agreement, the subfranchisor must immediately return all software and related materials, including all copies, to Anago.
It's important to note that Anago does not provide any warranties that the software will be free of defects, meet all of the subfranchisor's requirements, be compatible with unapproved hardware or software, or be available for uninterrupted use. The subfranchisor is also responsible for obtaining the necessary computer hardware, workstations, and mobile devices required to operate the software, as specified in the Anago Manuals or the Subfranchise Agreement.
