What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment D-2 to the Franchise Agreement is the Confidentiality Agreement and Ancillary Covenants Not to Solicit.
Belocal requires franchisees to ensure that any personnel who have access to Belocal's confidential information, but whom Belocal does not designate as a Principal, sign this agreement. This agreement aims to protect Belocal's sensitive business information and prevent the solicitation of employees, customers, or other franchisees.
Belocal retains the right to modify or eliminate the covenants within this agreement. This means Belocal can, at its discretion, decrease the period of time or geographic scope of the covenants or eliminate the covenants altogether for any person who signs the Confidentiality Agreement and Ancillary Covenants Not to Solicit agreements. This flexibility allows Belocal to tailor the restrictions based on the specific role and access level of the individual involved.
For a prospective Belocal franchisee, this means understanding the importance of protecting confidential information and ensuring that all relevant personnel are bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and Ancillary Covenants Not to Solicit. Franchisees should also be aware that Belocal has the authority to adjust these covenants as it sees fit.
