For what purpose can the Floyds 99 franchisee use the Program?

According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Program that Floyds 99 provides to its franchisees is intended to be used solely for information processing related to the operation of their Floyds 99 shop. Specifically, franchisees are restricted from using the Program for any other person, entity, or business outside of their own Floyds 99 franchise. This ensures that the software and data are used exclusively for the benefit of the individual franchise location and in accordance with the franchisor's standards.

Floyds 99 franchisees are also prohibited from selling, assigning, leasing, licensing, marketing, or commercially exploiting the Program or any data generated by it. Access to the Program and its data is limited to the franchisee, their employees, and approved third parties who have a written confidentiality agreement with Floyds 99. This is a standard practice to protect the franchisor's intellectual property and maintain the confidentiality of sensitive business information. Franchisees are allowed to make one copy of the Program for backup purposes, and they can use the data generated by the Program to comply with legal requirements and for customary business operations.

The FDD emphasizes the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of the Program and its data, both during and after the franchise term. Floyds 99 franchisees must implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or copying of the Program. Additionally, all employees with access to the Program must sign a confidentiality agreement. These measures are in place to safeguard the Program and its data, ensuring that it remains exclusive to authorized users and is not compromised in any way. This protects Floyds 99's competitive advantage and the integrity of its operations.

In summary, the Program provided by Floyds 99 is a tool strictly for managing and operating the franchisee's individual shop. The restrictions on its use are designed to protect the franchisor's intellectual property, maintain data security, and ensure that the Program is used only for the intended purpose of supporting the Floyds 99 franchise system. Prospective franchisees should understand these limitations and the importance of adhering to the franchisor's guidelines regarding the use and confidentiality of the Program.
