Does Desi District license the business data back to the franchisee for the entire term of the agreement?

According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, all customer data and non-public data generated by the Desi District business is considered confidential information and is exclusively owned by Desi District Franchise Group. However, Desi District licenses this data back to the franchisee without charge. This license allows the franchisee to use the data solely in connection with their Desi District business operations.

This license is specifically granted "for the term of this Agreement," meaning that franchisees can utilize the business data throughout the duration of their franchise agreement with Desi District. This arrangement enables franchisees to leverage customer insights and other relevant data to improve their business performance and customer service during the period they operate the franchise.

Upon termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, the franchisee's right to use this licensed data ceases. The franchisee must discontinue using the data and return or destroy it as per the terms of the agreement. This is a common practice in franchising, ensuring that proprietary business data remains under the control of the franchisor, even after a franchise relationship ends.
