What ongoing requirements might Eos Worldwide impose to maintain an upgraded tier status?

According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, after a franchisee upgrades their tier, Eos Worldwide may implement ongoing qualifications, requirements, or other necessary credentials that the franchisee must satisfy to maintain their upgraded tier status. The specific criteria for each tier and the associated rights are detailed in Item 12 of the FDD and within the Operations Manual, which Eos Worldwide may change at its discretion.

If a franchisee meets the criteria in the Operations Manual and chooses to upgrade their tier, they will pay the Membership Fee for that tier starting the month the tier changes. Upgrading is optional, but if a franchisee fails to meet the criteria, Eos Worldwide may downgrade their tier, and the franchisee will then pay the Monthly Membership Fee for the lower tier starting that month. Franchisees can also request a downgrade, but Eos Worldwide must approve such requests.

This means that maintaining an upgraded tier with Eos Worldwide is not simply a one-time achievement. Franchisees must consistently meet the standards set by Eos Worldwide, as outlined in the Operations Manual, to avoid being downgraded. These standards could involve various performance metrics, training requirements, or other operational criteria. It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review Item 12 and the Operations Manual to fully understand the ongoing obligations associated with each tier level and the potential consequences of failing to meet those obligations.
