What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago grants subfranchisees access to an internet-based software program currently known as AnagoCloud. The term "Software" is defined as the object code version of any proprietary or third-party software to which Anago provides subfranchisee access for use in connection with its Subfranchise Business, including any updates or new versions thereof. This software does not include source code.
This means that as a subfranchisee, you will be granted access to use AnagoCloud, but you will not own it. The software remains the property of Anago, and you are only authorized to use it for your Anago business. The license to use the software is nontransferable and nonexclusive.
Anago also provides "Related Materials" which are printed materials such as software user instructions. The license for the software and related materials is in effect for the term of the agreement, as long as the Subfranchise Rights Agreement is in full force and effect, unless terminated earlier according to the agreement. Subfranchisees are responsible for the security of the software and data on their devices, while Anago is responsible for backing up the data.
