Where can I find information about indemnification within the Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, details regarding indemnification against infringement suits can be found in Section 9, titled "Use of Name; Changing Name; Indemnification Against Infringement Suits." This section outlines the franchisee's agreement to exclusively use the name "Carbone's Pizzeria" in their business operations and to identify their restaurant as part of the Carbone's franchise system.

Specifically, the franchisee must not include any of the Carbones Pizzeria names or marks in their corporate name or use them in connection with any other business. They also cannot authorize the use of these names in any other area or permit any other party to use them. This is to protect the brand's trademarks and ensure consistent branding across all franchise locations.

This clause is important for prospective franchisees as it clarifies their responsibilities in protecting the Carbones Pizzeria brand and outlines the potential liabilities and legal protections related to the use of the brand's name and marks. Franchisees should carefully review this section to understand their obligations and the franchisor's protections against infringement suits.
