Hyper Kidz indicates that the Franchise Agreement grants franchisees the right to use their trademarks, trade names, service marks, symbols, emblems, logos, and indicia of origin, but only in the manner they authorize and solely for the operation of the franchised business.
Hyper Kidz retains control over the use of its trademarks, and franchisees must adhere to the franchisor's guidelines for displaying and using the marks. Franchisees are required to notify Hyper Kidz of any potential infringements or challenges to the use of the trademarks. Hyper Kidz has the sole discretion to take action regarding any infringement, challenge, or claim related to the marks, including legal proceedings.
Hyper Kidz states that they intend to vigorously defend their marks. The franchisor will indemnify franchisees against damages for which they are held liable in proceedings arising from the franchisee's use of any mark, provided that the franchisee has complied with the Franchise Agreement and promptly notified Hyper Kidz of any claims. This protection is a typical component of franchise agreements, as it shields franchisees from legal issues stemming from authorized trademark usage.
