What websites are included in the definition of the 'Web Site' within the Epcon Communities agreement?

According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Web Site' is defined as all information, content, concepts, program interfaces, structures, functionality, computer code, published materials, electronic documents, video, graphics, and other information and technology found on Epcon Communities' World Wide Web Site. Specifically, this includes the websites located at www.epconconnect.com and epcon.smarteru.com.

This definition is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies the scope of resources and platforms that Epcon Communities provides access to for business operations, training, and support. Franchisees and their employees are granted limited licenses to access and use the Epcon Communities Intranet, which includes these websites, for internal business purposes. This access is governed by the franchise agreement and any policies set forth by Epcon Communities.

Epcon Communities retains the right to modify or terminate the functionality and content available through these websites, including the Epcon Communities Intranet. They can also modify the franchise agreement through online notices on the website, email, or regular mail. Franchisees are responsible for staying informed about these changes, as continued access to the websites implies acceptance of any modifications. Additionally, while franchisees may be authorized to use portions of the content from these sites to create their own websites, Epcon Communities maintains sole rights over specific web addresses related to the brand, such as epconcommunities.com, epconhomesandcommunities.com, epconfranchising.com, and EpconOpportunity.com.

Franchisees must also adhere to specific user conduct guidelines and are prohibited from activities such as attempting to modify or hack the websites, accessing unauthorized areas, or interfering with other users' access. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in termination of access to the Epcon Communities Intranet. The FDD also emphasizes that Epcon Communities provides the Intranet, Databases, and Web Site "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", meaning there are no warranties regarding its reliability or availability.
