Learningrx Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

NOW THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the promises, undertakings and commitments of each party to the other party set forth herein, hereby mutually agree as follows:

1. GRANT

  • 1.01. Appointment. Franchisor hereby grants to Area Developer the right and license to develop, construct, operate and manage Centers in strict accordance with the System and under the Marks within the Development Schedule and Territory described in Schedule A. Each Center shall be operated according to the terms of the individual franchise agreement with respect thereto.
  • 1.02. Territory. If the Area Developer complies with the terms of this Agreement, the Development Schedule and the individual franchise agreement for each Center, then Franchisor will not franchise or license others, nor will it itself directly or indirectly develop, own, lease, construct or operate in any manner, any Centers in the Development Territory during the term of this Agreement; however, Franchisor reserves the right to sell products and services, under the Marks or any other marks, through any other retail location, including kiosks, malls, airports, college campuses, at special events or through any other channels of distribution, including through mail order, catalogue sales or over the Internet. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Area Developer will no longer have a Development Territory and each Center will be limited to operation in its own territory described in the individual franchise agreement.
  • 1.03. Governing Agreement. This Agreement is not a franchise agreement and Area Developer shall have no right to use, in any manner, the Marks or System by virtue of this Agreement. Each Center will be governed by the individual franchise agreement executed by Franchisor and Area Developer for each Center.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 Learningrx Franchise Disclosure Document, the Area Developer does not have the right to grant sub-franchises. According to the agreement, the Area Developer is granted the right to develop, construct, operate, and manage Learningrx Centers within a specific Development Schedule and Territory. Each center must be operated under the terms of an individual franchise agreement.

The Learningrx Area Developer Agreement explicitly states that it is not a franchise agreement. The Area Developer gains no rights to use Learningrx's Marks or System simply by virtue of the Area Developer Agreement. Each Learningrx Center must be governed by an individual franchise agreement executed by Learningrx and the Area Developer for each specific Center.

Therefore, the Learningrx Area Developer themselves operates the Learningrx centers they develop, and each center requires its own franchise agreement between Learningrx and the Area Developer. The FDD does not provide for the Area Developer to sub-franchise to other parties.
