What must Annex Brands franchisees include on any reproductions of the 'PostalMate' program?

According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee makes any reproductions of the PostalMate program for backup purposes, they must include PostalMate's copyright notice, patent notice, trademark, service mark, and other proprietary Master Licensee markings and/or confidential legends on all copies of the Product.

This requirement ensures that Annex Brands franchisees properly acknowledge and protect the intellectual property rights associated with the PostalMate software. It is a standard practice in franchising and software licensing to include such notices to prevent unauthorized use or distribution of copyrighted material.

For a prospective Annex Brands franchisee, this means being diligent about including all required notices and markings when creating backup copies of the PostalMate program. Failure to do so could potentially lead to legal issues or disputes regarding intellectual property rights. Franchisees should carefully review the software license agreement and any related guidelines provided by Annex Brands to ensure full compliance with these requirements.
