and discounts available for the FTG System available at the time. Other than the general guidelines set forth below, FTG has no established standards or specifications to disclose to its members or suppliers. There are no approved suppliers in which any of our officers owns an interest.
FTG approves or disapproves suppliers based upon the type of floor covering offered, the negotiated price available from each supplier, the delivery terms and conditions provided by each supplier, and the positive or negative feedback FTG receives from its members. As a FTG member, you will not be entitled to negotiate floor covering purchases for the FTG System nor will you be authorized to offer any floor covering products under the FTG trademarks, logos or service marks which are not set forth in the price list.
D. Required Signage
FTG requires that each new member place FTG Showroom signage either on the exterior facade of the member's Showroom building, in the front window of the member's Showroom, or on a marquee or free-standing sign in the front of the member's Showroom, and that such signage will conform to all specifications provided by FTG, be approved by FTG before construction, meet all local signage regulations, and be installed within ninety (90) days after the effective date of each new member's Membership Agreement. However, since the FTG membership concept is intended for and directed toward the experienced owner/operator of existing floor covering stores, FTG does not otherwise impose on new members additional requirements with respect to constructing and improving a business site in connection with such member's establishment of a FTG franchise.
