What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you are required to use the tablet that Bor Restoration supplies, which comes pre-loaded with the BOR Software Suite. You must activate and maintain licenses for Microsoft 365 and Constant Contact. The tablet cannot be substituted with your own computer hardware or other tablets. Bor Restoration may require you to update the tablet no more often than once every three years and reserves the right to change the make and model of the tablet at any time, although you will not be required to conform to this change more than once every three years.
The BOR Software Suite is Bor Restoration's proprietary suite of software preinstalled on the Tablet and containing estimating software and client relationship management (CRM) software.
In addition to the software licenses, you are also required to maintain high-speed internet access to the Tablet at all times. Bor Restoration will have independent access to your databases, and there are no other contractual limitations on their right to access such information. Bor Restoration may also require you to use other proprietary software, web-based programs, or new or additional software modules that will be integrated into the BOS Software Suite, for which you will pay the then-current fees, costs, and licenses associated with each.
