For Atwell Suites, what happens to the client's access to the software upon termination of the agreement?

According to Atwell Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, upon termination of the agreement, the client must stop accessing the software. The franchisee is also required to return to Quore all components of the software, including related documentation, access criteria, software code, and any related computer-readable media or hardware devices owned by Quore. The franchisee must also cease all use and/or access of the software at the time of termination and must not attempt to access the software after the agreement ends.

This means that when the franchise agreement ends, the franchisee loses all rights to use the software provided by Quore. This includes not only the software itself but also any related materials or equipment. The franchisee has a responsibility to ensure that they and their employees completely stop using the software and return all related items to Quore.

This provision protects Quore's intellectual property and ensures that franchisees do not continue to benefit from the software after the franchise agreement has ended. For a prospective Atwell Suites franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding the terms of the software license and the obligations upon termination. It also emphasizes the need to plan for business operations after the franchise term, considering alternative software solutions if necessary.
