What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally prohibited from using the brand's trademarks in their email addresses. The FDD states that franchisees cannot use any of the marks as part of an email address, unless explicitly permitted in the Operations Manual.
This restriction is in place to protect the Floyds 99 brand and ensure consistent representation across all digital communications. By controlling the use of its trademarks in email addresses, Floyds 99 maintains its brand identity and prevents unauthorized or misleading communications that could damage its reputation.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Operations Manual to understand the specific guidelines regarding the use of Floyds 99's marks in digital communications. If a franchisee wishes to use the marks in a way not explicitly covered in the manual, they should seek written permission from the franchisor to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
