What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Red Wagon Club Franchise Disclosure Document, a licensee is granted a limited right to use the Marks and Licensed Materials strictly in connection with the operation of the Licensee's Law Firm Business. This sublicense is non-exclusive and non-transferrable, meaning the licensee cannot grant these rights to others. The use of these Marks and Licensed Materials must adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement.
The Red Wagon Club requires that the licensee use the Licensed Materials without modification unless the franchisor provides written consent. The franchisor retains the right to modify the Marks and Licensed Materials at their discretion. The franchisee will notify the licensee of any changes received from the franchisor, and the licensee must implement these changes immediately according to the agreement terms.
All rights to the Marks and Licensed Materials, including goodwill and derivative works, are exclusively owned by the franchisor, and the licensee's use of these materials benefits the licensor. Upon termination of the agreement, the licensee's rights to use the Marks and Licensed Materials cease immediately, and the licensee must not represent themselves as owning any part of these materials. The licensee will retain the goodwill in their Law Firm Business apart from the goodwill associated with the use of the Marks and Licensed Materials.
