What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Epcon Communities Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to designate a specific individual to manage content updates for their project's web pages. This individual must be an officer, director, owner, or employee of the franchisee.
Epcon Communities maintains a website to promote the development projects of its franchisees and affiliates. Once a franchisee identifies a project and requests its inclusion on the website, Epcon Communities will provide a web page for that project. However, before any marketing or selling activities can begin, the franchisee must supply the information specified by Epcon Communities to create the web page.
The content of the franchisee's web page, including text, size, address, and appearance, is determined at the sole discretion of Epcon Communities. While the franchisee is responsible for providing content updates through their designated web site administrator, Epcon Communities retains ultimate control over the web page's content and functionality.
