What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago grants subfranchisees access to a software program currently known as IGAS. The agreement specifies that "Software" means the object code version of any proprietary or third-party software to which Anago provides the 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 the IGAS software, which is designed to help manage your Anago subfranchise business. The license to use this software is nontransferable and nonexclusive, meaning you cannot transfer the license to someone else, and Anago can grant similar licenses to other subfranchisees. The term of the license is tied to the term of the Subfranchise Rights Agreement, so it remains in effect as long as that agreement is valid, unless terminated earlier according to the agreement's terms.
Anago also provides 'Related Materials' to support the software, such as user instructions. It is the subfranchisee's responsibility to obtain the necessary computer hardware, workstations, and mobile devices to operate the software, as specified in the Anago Manuals or other written communications. Anago does not provide any warranties that the software will be error-free, meet all requirements, be compatible with unapproved hardware or software, or be available without interruption. The subfranchisee also agrees to keep the software confidential and not reverse engineer it.
