What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Blue Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the term "Franchise Agreements" refers to the documents executed by the Licensee (franchisee) for the franchise rights for the specific Big Blue Swim School listed on Exhibit B of the software license agreement. This definition is important in the context of the software license because the licensee's right to use the software is directly tied to their operation of a Big Blue Swim School under the franchise agreement.
This means that the software license agreement is dependent on the franchise agreement. The software, LessonBuddy, is licensed for use only in conjunction with a Big Blue Swim School operating under a franchise agreement. The effective date of the software license is tied to when the franchise agreements are fully executed.
Furthermore, in case of any conflict between the terms of the software license and the franchise agreement, the franchise agreement terms will take precedence. This highlights the primacy of the franchise agreement in governing the relationship between Big Blue Swim School and its franchisees, with the software license being a secondary agreement that supports the operation of the franchised business.
