What exhibit outlines the Conditional Assignment of Telephone Numbers for Brightstar Care?

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Conditional Assignment of Telephone Numbers is outlined in Exhibit I. This exhibit is part of the BrightStar Care Agency Franchise Agreement.

This agreement ensures that Brightstar Care has the right to manage and control the telephone numbers used for the franchise. This is particularly important upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, as Brightstar Care can then direct the telephone company to transfer the numbers. This provision helps to maintain continuity for clients and referral sources, as calls can be redirected to Brightstar Care or another franchisee in the area.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the phone numbers used for the Brightstar Care business are not fully owned by the franchisee. Upon leaving the Brightstar Care system, the franchisee will lose the right to use those numbers. This is a common practice in franchising to protect the brand and customer relationships. Franchisees should carefully review Exhibit I to understand the specific conditions and obligations related to the assignment of telephone numbers.
