According to the 2025 Monicals Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Franchise' definition refers to the rights granted to the franchisee by Monicals Pizza to use the System and the Marks, as outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This means a franchisee is authorized to operate a Monicals Pizza restaurant using the established business model, brand name, and associated trademarks.
The grant of this franchise is a "revocable, limited license" to operate one Monicals Pizza restaurant using the System and Marks. The franchisee must acknowledge and not contest Monicals Pizza's exclusive ownership and rights to every aspect of the System. The right to use the System is limited to the location and territory specified in the Franchise Agreement.
The franchisee's right to use Monicals Pizza's marks is derived solely from the Franchise Agreement, is non-exclusive, and is limited to conducting business in compliance with the agreement and all standards and operating procedures.
