What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Learningrx Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally restricted from independently marketing on the internet. Learningrx retains the sole right to market on the Internet using their trademarks, websites, domain names, URLs, and advertising.
A Learningrx franchisee cannot independently market on the Internet or use any domain name, social networking site, address, locator, link, metatag, or search technique with words or symbols similar to Learningrx's marks without prior written approval from Learningrx. Any franchisee website should be accessed only through Learningrx's main home page.
The Learningrx franchisee is expected to provide content for Learningrx's internet marketing efforts and sign internet and intranet usage agreements. Learningrx retains the right to approve any linking or other use of its website. These restrictions ensure that Learningrx maintains control over its brand and online presence, which is a common practice in franchising to ensure consistency and quality across all locations.
After the termination of the franchise agreement, the franchisee must assign all domain names and Internet directory listings that contain the Learningrx marks to Learningrx and refrain from identifying themselves as a Learningrx franchisee. This further protects Learningrx's online brand and prevents confusion among customers.
