What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, licensees must respect all copyright, trademark, confidentiality, and proprietary notices on the Jerk King Software and its output. Specifically, franchisees are prohibited from removing, obliterating, or canceling these notices from the software or any output generated by it.
Furthermore, if the output from the software is intended to be shown to a third party, the Bonchon franchisee must reproduce and include these notices on each copy. This ensures that all parties are aware of Bonchon's intellectual property rights and that these rights are consistently protected.
This requirement is typical in franchising, as franchisors like Bonchon need to protect their brand and proprietary information. Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to legal issues and potential termination of the franchise agreement.
