As a Brain Balance franchisee, you are granted a non-exclusive right and license to use the proprietary marks (the "Marks") in operating your Brain Balance Program® center. These marks are the only trade names that can be used in connection with your franchised business.

The Marks cannot be used as part of your corporate name and may be used only in connection with the Franchised Business.

Brain Balance retains control over any legal proceedings involving the Marks and has the right, but not the obligation, to take action against potential infringements. Franchisees are required to notify Brain Balance immediately if they become aware of any infringement, imitation, or unauthorized use of the Marks. If Brain Balance modifies or discontinues the use of a Mark, franchisees must comply, and they will not be compensated for any associated costs. Franchisees must not contest Brain Balance's rights to its trademarks, trade secrets, or business techniques.
