What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Epcon Communities Sublicense Agreement does not supersede any prior agreements. Instead, the Sublicense Agreement operates in conjunction with the Franchise Agreement.
Specifically, the Sublicensee accepts a sublicense from the Franchisee to use the Epcon Communities Development System, Epcon Communities Works, and the Marks for developing and marketing an Epcon Communities project. This sublicense is governed by the terms and conditions outlined in both the Franchise Agreement and the Sublicense Agreement. The Franchise Agreement remains in full effect even after the Sublicense Agreement is executed.
Furthermore, the Personal Covenants and Agreement signed by principals, officers, directors, owners, investors, or partners of the Franchisee does not create any implied license to use copyrighted works owned by Epcon Community Franchising, LLC. The only licenses granted are those expressly stated in the Franchise Agreement, the Sublicense Agreement, or the Personal Covenants and Agreement. Therefore, prospective franchisees and sublicensees should carefully review both agreements to understand their rights and obligations fully.
