What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee obtains the right to operate an EOS Franchised Business using the EOS Franchise System, Intellectual Property, and Marks. This allows them to market, sell, provide, render, and perform services and products to entrepreneurs, business owners, and other end-users, referred to as "Clients." This right is non-exclusive, meaning Eos Worldwide can grant similar rights to others, and franchisees do not receive an exclusive or protected geographic territory. Franchisees must operate in strict compliance with the terms and conditions outlined in the Franchise Agreement and adhere to Eos Worldwide's Franchise System Standards.
The rights granted are a revocable, limited license to operate a franchised business and use the Intellectual Property. The franchisee is responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to their operation, as well as for the supervision of their personnel. Franchisees cannot sell products at wholesale or to distributors without express written permission from Eos Worldwide. They are also prohibited from reproducing or creating derivative works from training materials related to the EOS Franchise System.
Eos Worldwide retains significant rights, including the right to operate businesses under the Marks or using the Intellectual Property, and to license these rights to others anywhere in the world. They also reserve the right to own and operate other businesses using their Marks or Intellectual Property, or to license others to do so. Franchisees do not have a right of first refusal for additional business or franchise programs. Eos Worldwide can also enter into marketing partnerships or programs that could be local, regional, national, or international in scope, even if they offer the same products and services as the franchisee.
Franchisees acknowledge that Eos Worldwide owns the Intellectual Property, Client Data, and Franchise System Standards. Any modifications or improvements to the EOS Franchise System suggested by the franchisee become the property of Eos Worldwide without compensation to the franchisee. The franchisee's right to use the EOS Franchise System, Client Data, Marks, and Intellectual Property is derived solely from the Franchise Agreement and is limited to the conduct of the Franchised Business in compliance with the agreement.
