In addition to software access, Anago furnishes the Subfranchisor with 'Related Materials' to support the software. These 'Related Materials' are defined as printed material, such as software user instructions, that Anago designates as available under license to the Subfranchisor for the licensed software.
The license granted to the Subfranchisor for the software and related materials is effective for the term of the agreement, provided the Subfranchise Rights Agreement remains in full force. The Subfranchisor is responsible for obtaining the necessary computer hardware, workstations, and mobile devices required to operate the software, as specified in the Anago Manuals, the Subfranchise Agreement, or in writing. This includes configuration, setup, and network wiring.
