You are permitted to offer and sell applicable Products and the Services anywhere in the world, subject to applicable law and our reservation of certain rights described below and in the Franchise Agreement. You may conduct sessions in-person or virtually, in each case in accordance with our Franchise System Standards. While you may provide Implementer Services applicable Products and the Services generally anywhere, you may not do so with or within any country that is the target of any laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury or any other governmental entity of any applicable jurisdiction imposing economic sanctions or trade embargoes against designated countries.
Because we do not grant franchises for specific locations or grant protected or exclusive territories, there are no provisions in the Franchise Agreement for modification of territorial rights, nor do we have any restrictions on the relocation of any leased or session space. However, as a United States based Franchised Business, you will be a member of our North American community and will therefore attend Boot Camp, QCEs and other training, meetings and events provided to or for the benefit of Franchised Businesses from time to time in the United States, and will be subject to the applicable Franchise System Standards for the United States. You may not change communities without our prior written consent. We will approve or disapprove a change request based on such factors as we deem appropriate (acting reasonably), including the basis for the change request. Also, our Website currently lists franchisees geographically, so if you do look to relocate, even within the United States, you should notify us so we can update this information accordingly. Franchisees may only designate locations where they actively operate their Franchised Business in accordance with our policies and procedures that are in effect from time to time, and can update their locations from time to time with our approval.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally permitted to offer and sell products and services anywhere in the world, subject to applicable laws and certain rights reserved by Eos Worldwide. Franchisees can conduct sessions in-person or virtually, adhering to the Franchise System Standards. However, there are restrictions regarding providing Implementer Services in countries subject to economic sanctions or trade embargoes by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, or any other relevant governmental entity.
Despite the global reach, Eos Worldwide franchisees based in the United States will be part of the North American community. As such, they are required to attend Boot Camp, QCEs (presumably Quarterly Community Events), and other training sessions and meetings held in the United States. These franchisees must also adhere to the Franchise System Standards applicable to the United States. Changing communities requires prior written consent from Eos Worldwide, which will be granted based on factors deemed appropriate by the company.
While Eos Worldwide does not grant exclusive territories, the company lists franchisees geographically on its website. Therefore, franchisees who relocate, even within the United States, must notify Eos Worldwide to update this information. Franchisees can only designate locations where they actively operate their franchised business, subject to Eos Worldwide's policies and procedures, and any location updates require the company's approval. This ensures that Eos Worldwide maintains accurate information about the geographic distribution of its franchisees.
