What is the definition of 'Telephone Numbers' and 'Electronic Media' in the context of an Azal Coffee franchise?

According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Telephone Numbers' and 'Electronic Media' are specifically defined within the context of the franchise agreement. 'Telephone Numbers' encompass all telephone and fax numbers used for the Azal Coffee franchise business, including those used for advertising and marketing purposes. This means that any phone numbers a franchisee uses to promote or operate their Azal Coffee location are included in this definition.

'Electronic Media' is defined broadly to include various digital platforms and technologies. This includes the Internet, email, websites, mobile applications, social networks, wikis, podcasts, online forums, content sharing communities, blogging, and other social media accounts. It also covers mobile technology, digital coupons, keyword or adword purchasing programs, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, and other forms of digital media used for the operation, advertising, and marketing of the Azal Coffee franchise business.

Azal Coffee franchisees should understand that upon signing the Franchise Agreement, they agree to assign all Telephone Numbers and Electronic Media associated with their franchise business to the franchisor. This assignment is further reinforced by granting the franchisor power of attorney to transfer these assets. Upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the franchisee must cease using all Telephone Numbers and Electronic Media and, if requested by Azal Coffee, must assign them to the franchisor. This ensures that Azal Coffee maintains control over its brand's communication channels and digital presence.
