Who must sign the confidentiality agreement before having access to Anago's manuals or other Confidential Information?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any individual permitted access to Anago's manuals or other confidential information must first sign Anago's confidentiality agreement. This requirement ensures that sensitive business information remains protected.

The confidentiality agreements must identify Anago as a third-party beneficiary, granting Anago the independent right to enforce the agreement. This provision strengthens Anago's ability to protect its confidential information and trade secrets, even if the direct contractual relationship is between the franchisee and their employee or another party.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors need to protect their proprietary information and systems. Prospective Anago franchisees should carefully review the form of confidentiality agreement to understand their obligations and ensure compliance. They should also be aware of their responsibility to ensure that anyone they allow access to confidential information, such as employees, also adheres to these confidentiality terms.
