What is the scope of the 'Agreement' as defined in the Epcon Communities addendum?

According to the 2025 Epcon Communities Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Agreement" is defined within the context of an addendum to the franchise agreement. Specifically, for one addendum, the document states that the addendum and the franchise agreement are collectively referred to as the "Agreement."

This means that when reviewing the full scope of the agreement between Epcon Communities and the franchisee, both the original franchise agreement and any addenda must be considered together. The addendum serves to modify or amend specific terms of the original franchise agreement. Therefore, the "Agreement" represents the complete set of terms and conditions governing the franchise relationship.

Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to any addenda, as they can alter the rights and obligations outlined in the original franchise agreement. In the case of conflict between the franchise agreement and the addendum, the terms of the addendum will take precedence. Franchisees should carefully review all documents to fully understand the terms of their agreement with Epcon Communities.
