What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, "Related Materials" are defined as printed materials, excluding software programs, such as user instructions for the software. These materials are designated by Anago as available under license to the subfranchisor for the specific licensed software they relate to.
As a subfranchisor, you'll receive access to software programs like IGAS, AnagoCloud, and Anago CleanSource. The "Related Materials" provide essential support for these software programs, ensuring you understand how to use them effectively in your Anago subfranchise business. These materials are not source code, but rather user-friendly guides to help you navigate the software.
The license to use both the software and the related materials is granted for the term of the agreement, provided the Subfranchise Rights Agreement remains in full effect. This means that as long as you're in good standing with Anago, you'll have access to these resources. It's important to note that this license is nontransferable and nonexclusive, meaning you can't pass it on to someone else, and Anago may grant similar licenses to other subfranchisors.
