What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'System Supplies' are defined as the equipment and supplies that Bee Organized designates as required for use in connection with a franchisee's Bee Organized business and the Approved Services and Products. These supplies include System branded, non-branded, and third-party branded equipment and supplies designated by Bee Organized for the day-to-day operations of a franchisee's Bee Organized business. These can include home organization solutions, products, supplies, software and technology systems, vehicles, materials, uniforms, and other products designated in the Operations Manual or in writing, as modified by Bee Organized. System Supplies also include products that Bee Organized authorizes for sale to clients of a franchisee's Bee Organized business.
Upon termination of the franchise agreement, a franchisee must cease using System Supplies, including communicating with or ordering products from Bee Organized's designated suppliers and vendors. This means a former franchisee cannot continue to source or utilize these designated supplies in any competing business venture.
This definition is important for prospective franchisees as it clarifies what constitutes required supplies and equipment, and what a franchisee must stop using upon termination of the franchise agreement. Understanding this definition helps a franchisee understand their obligations during the term of the agreement and after termination.
