You understand and acknowledge that detail of the System is essential to the Anago brand and all Franchised Units in order to (i) develop and maintain quality brand standards, (ii) increase the demand for services sold by Franchised Units and (iii) protect Anago's name and goodwill. In an effort to further these interests We have the right to perform periodic quality control visits to each building You clean. All brand standards will be inspected and recommendations will be made to You. Our representative will operate from the local Anago office and will be available during normal business hours to answer questions and to assist with Unit Franchise operational questions.
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.
If You receive unsatisfactory inspection reports from Us and fail to promptly remedy the deficiencies, We may require You and Your representatives to attend refresher corrective measures classes as soon as reasonably possible.
You are solely responsible for all expenses associated with these programs including Our then prevailing standard Corrective Measures Fee ($0.00 to $500.00, as set by Us or Our Affiliate).
You will be responsible for all travel, meals and lodging costs of Your attendees.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago conducts periodic quality control visits to maintain brand standards, increase demand for services, and protect Anago's name and goodwill. These visits involve inspections of brand standards, and Anago will provide recommendations to the franchisee. A representative from the local Anago office will be available during normal business hours to answer operational questions and provide assistance.
Anago also emphasizes the importance of quality control to ensure the continued growth and service quality of the franchise system. Franchisees must allow Anago or its representatives to enter their premises or buildings where services are provided for inspections at any time. Franchisees are required to fully cooperate with these inspections, offering assistance and allowing observation of service delivery, as well as permitting Anago to confer with clients and employees. Anago may also take samples of products and materials for inspection and record-keeping, and these inspections can occur without prior notice.
If deficiencies are found during inspections, the franchisee must take immediate steps to correct them, including stopping the use of any non-conforming equipment or materials. Failure to correct these deficiencies allows Anago to enter the franchisee's premises to make the necessary corrections at the franchisee's expense. If a franchisee receives unsatisfactory inspection reports and fails to promptly remedy the deficiencies, Anago may require the franchisee and their representatives to attend refresher corrective measures classes, incurring fees between $0.00 and $500.00, plus travel, meals, and lodging costs.
