Under the Anago Franchise Agreement, what entities are included in the definition of "person"?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term "person" is broadly defined within the Anago Subfranchise Rights Agreement. This definition extends beyond just individuals to include various types of legal and business entities.

Specifically, the term "person" encompasses any corporation, partnership, estate, trust, association, branch, bureau, subdivision, venture, associated group, individual (including their heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives), government, institution, instrumentality, and any other entity, enterprise, association, or endeavor of every nature and kind. This inclusive definition ensures that the agreement applies to a wide range of potential franchisees and related parties.

For a prospective Anago franchisee, this broad definition is important because it clarifies that the obligations and rights under the franchise agreement apply not only to individuals but also to any business structure they might use to operate the franchise. This could include corporations, partnerships, or trusts. It also ensures that if the individual franchisee dies, their legal representatives will be bound by the agreement.
