Is an Eos Worldwide franchisee prohibited from inducing referral sources of Eos Worldwide to terminate their engagement with Eos Worldwide?

According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are prohibited from inducing referral sources to terminate their engagement with Eos Worldwide. Specifically, franchisees cannot solicit, divert, or induce any of Eos Worldwide's or its affiliates' clients, referral sources, brokers, insurers, suppliers, or any other parties with whom Eos Worldwide (or its affiliates) does business, to terminate any engagement with them. This also applies to parties that the franchisee knows Eos Worldwide or its affiliates have contacted or solicited for business relationships.

This restriction is in place to protect Eos Worldwide's existing business relationships and prevent franchisees from disrupting those relationships. It ensures that franchisees do not undermine the franchisor's network by poaching referral sources or encouraging them to discontinue their partnerships with Eos Worldwide.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must be careful not to interfere with Eos Worldwide's established connections. Any attempt to persuade referral sources to terminate their engagement with Eos Worldwide could be a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should focus on building their own relationships and generating new leads without disrupting the existing network.
