Does the Internet Policies & Procedures Agreement apply to equivalent electronic advertising for Annex Brands?

According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Internet Policies & Procedures Agreement does apply to equivalent electronic advertising. Specifically, any website or equivalent electronic advertising that uses Annex Brands' marks requires approval before publication, and any modifications also require approval before updates are published. This ensures that all online representations of the brand adhere to Annex Brands' standards and protect the brand's image.

Annex Brands maintains control over how its marks are used online to protect its system. Franchisees must adhere to Annex Brands' policies and procedures when using email marketing programs, social media platforms, online directory listings, and other networking platforms or comparable electronic identities. These policies are periodically updated and can be found in the manuals or in writing from Annex Brands.

Annex Brands may also maintain a corporate website to promote the system and its products/services. They may also establish a private Intranet, newsgroups, bulletin boards, and libraries for franchisee use. Franchisees are required to use the email addresses provided by Annex Brands for all center operations, including customer communications and marketing, and cannot establish their own without prior written consent. These online platforms are governed by the Internet Policies and Procedure Agreement, which Annex Brands can modify.
