What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Eos Worldwide may require franchisees to use their Approved Suppliers to translate any materials. Specifically, the FDD states, "We may require that you use our Approved Suppliers to translate any materials."
This means that as a franchisee, you might not be able to choose your own translation service, even if you find a cheaper or better option. Eos Worldwide retains the right to mandate the use of specific vendors for translations. This is to ensure consistency and quality control across all franchise locations, especially when materials are used with clients.
While Eos Worldwide maintains control over who translates materials, the franchisee is responsible for determining if translations are required by local laws. Additionally, the franchisee bears the cost of these translations and must keep them confidential, similar to the original materials. Any translations, modifications, or adaptations of the materials become the property of Eos Worldwide.
