What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 13.10 of the franchise agreement states that all provisions within ARTICLE 13 remain in effect even after the agreement expires or is terminated. This means that the obligations and rights outlined in ARTICLE 13 continue to bind both the franchisee and Anago, regardless of whether the franchise agreement is still active.
ARTICLE 13 likely contains critical clauses such as non-compete agreements, confidentiality clauses, and intellectual property protections. The survival of these provisions protects Anago's business interests and proprietary information, even after a franchisee leaves the system.
For a prospective Anago franchisee, this means understanding the long-term implications of ARTICLE 13. Even after the franchise term ends, certain restrictions and obligations will continue to apply. It is important to carefully review ARTICLE 13 with legal counsel to fully grasp these enduring responsibilities and how they might impact future business ventures or activities after the franchise relationship concludes.
