Am I required to notify Annex Brands of any website that lists me as a franchisee?

According to Annex Brands's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you are required to notify Annex Brands of any website that features or lists you in your capacity as a franchisee. This includes informing them of any new websites as they periodically list you. This requirement is part of the broader agreement that governs the use of Annex Brands' marks on the internet. Annex Brands maintains control over how its marks are used online to protect its system.

This notification requirement ensures that Annex Brands is aware of all online mentions of its franchisees, allowing them to monitor brand representation and maintain consistency across the internet. It also enables Annex Brands to manage its online presence and address any potential issues related to brand image or customer service.

Annex Brands may link your web pages or website to other approved websites, including those you maintain as a franchisee or any website that lists your retail center. However, Annex Brands may condition such linking on the linking of such websites back to their website and may remove or request that you remove such links back to their website at any time, and you must comply with any such request.

Overall, this policy highlights the importance of maintaining open communication with Annex Brands regarding your online presence and adhering to their policies and procedures for online marketing and advertising.
