We have the right to supplement, improve and otherwise change the System at any time and for any reason, and you must comply with all such requirements, including offering and selling new or different products or services specified by us and discontinuing the offer and sale of products and services we no longer approve.
Specifications; Required and Approved Suppliers
To help retain the uniform and high standards necessary to maintain and enhance the goodwill of the System and acceptance in your market, we provide specifications and/or required suppliers for the purchase or lease of certain items, which each Subfranchisor currently is required to retain to provide support services in connection with certain software. We are the only approved supplier for the NBDS System. Specifications may include standards for enhancing the System's image and minimum standards for safety, appearance and other factors. We also currently require that you use our designated internet vendors in connection with the creation and maintenance of your website, and email/webhosting. We will communicate specifications for required or permitted products and services in the Manuals or otherwise in writing.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago has the right to modify the Anago System at any time and for any reason. As a subfranchisee, you must comply with these changes. This includes offering new products or services that Anago specifies, and discontinuing any products or services that Anago no longer approves.
To maintain uniformity and goodwill within the Anago System, Anago provides specifications and/or required suppliers for certain items. Subfranchisors must adhere to these to provide support services, particularly concerning certain software. Anago is the only approved supplier for the NBDS System. These specifications cover standards for the System's image, safety, appearance, and other factors. Anago also mandates the use of designated internet vendors for website creation, maintenance, and email/web hosting.
Anago communicates these specifications for required or permitted products and services through its manuals or in writing. This means that as a franchisee, you need to stay updated with any changes communicated through these channels. This requirement ensures that all Anago subfranchises maintain a consistent standard, but it also means franchisees have limited autonomy in choosing their suppliers and service providers.
