What is the relationship between the 'Manual' and the 'System' for an Augusta Lawn Care Business?

"System" means our system for the establishment, development, operation and management of an Augusta Lawn Care Business, including Know-how, proprietary programs and products, confidential operations manuals and operating system.

5.3 Manual

Augusta Lawn Care will lend You a Manual containing explicit instructions for use of the Marks, specifications for goods that will be used in or sold by the Augusta Lawn Care Business, sample business forms, information on marketing, management, and administration methods developed by Augusta Lawn Care for use in the Augusta Lawn Care Business, names of approved suppliers, and other information that Augusta Lawn Care believes may be necessary or helpful to You in Your operation of the Augusta Lawn Care Business. Augusta Lawn Care will revise the Manual periodically, at its discretion to conform to the changing needs of the Franchise Network and will distribute updated pages containing these revisions to You from time-to-time. Alternatively, and in lieu of a hard copy of the Manual, Augusta Lawn Care may make available to You a Manual in electronic form that is accessible to you. Augusta Lawn Care will notify You of any updates to the Manual. You shall be responsible for immediately downloading and complying with the revised Manual.

7.2.2 Compliance with Manual

You shall operate Your Augusta Lawn Care Business in complete compliance with the standards and specifications, as set forth in the Manual, or otherwise in writing. Augusta Lawn Care may make changes to any of these standards and specifications, at any time, in Augusta Lawn Care's sole and absolute discretion. Such changes may necessitate the purchase of equipment, supplies furnishings or other goods, completion of additional training by Your employees, remodeling of the Augusta Lawn Care Business, or other cost to You. You shall promptly conform to the modified standards and specifications at Your own expense. You shall, at all times, keep Your copy of the Manual current (by, for example, inserting in it revised pages given to You by Augusta Lawn Care and deleting superseded pages, or downloading from Augusta Lawn Care's website, the current version of the Manual upon notification of any revision to the Manual). If there is any dispute as to the requirements of the Manual at any point in time, the terms of the master copy of the Manual maintained by Augusta Lawn Care will control.

You shall at all times treat the Manual, any other manuals created for or approved for use in the operation of the Augusta Lawn Care Business, and the information contained therein as confidential, and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain such information as secret and confidential. Except for those portions of the Manual that Augusta Lawn Care designates, in writing, as appropriate for copying and use at the Augusta Lawn Care Business, You shall not, at any time, copy, duplicate, record, or otherwise reproduce the foregoing materials, in whole or in part, nor otherwise make the same available to any third party without our prior written consent.",
