What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 FDD, upon termination of the Bevaris Alliance franchise agreement, the franchisee is required to deliver up any mobile telephone SIM cards or other communications equipment used in their business. This means the franchisee must relinquish possession of these items to Bevaris Alliance.
This requirement ensures that Bevaris Alliance maintains control over its brand's communication channels and prevents any unauthorized use of the brand's identity after the franchise agreement ends. It is a standard practice in franchising to ensure a clean break and prevent confusion in the marketplace.
In addition to surrendering SIM cards, the franchisee must also cease using any Communications Addresses (telephone numbers, email addresses, and domain names) associated with the Bevaris Alliance business. They must also assist Bevaris Alliance in making any necessary changes to contractual arrangements with service providers or registrations with regulatory authorities, potentially including terminating arrangements or transferring the right to use the Communication Address to Bevaris Alliance.
