Who owns the Application Services provided to Brain Balance franchisees?

According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, Brain Balance will license the software to the franchisee under the Application License Agreement. This means that Brain Balance retains ownership of the software and grants the franchisee the right to use it under specific terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.

This arrangement is common in franchising, allowing Brain Balance to maintain control over its proprietary software and ensure consistent standards across all franchise locations. The franchisee's use of the software is subject to the terms of the Application License Agreement, which likely includes provisions regarding usage rights, updates, and restrictions.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Application License Agreement to understand the full scope of their rights and obligations regarding the software. This includes understanding any limitations on use, data security requirements, and the process for obtaining updates and support. Understanding these details is crucial for the smooth operation of the franchise and to avoid any potential compliance issues.
