What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Remax Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is specifically prohibited from transferring their rights to access or use MAX/Center to another party. Remax provides franchisees with a personal, revocable, limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, and non-sublicensable license to use MAX/Center.
This means that the franchisee's access to and use of MAX/Center is tied directly to their franchise agreement with Remax and cannot be sold, leased, rented, or otherwise transferred to anyone else. This restriction is in place to ensure that Remax maintains control over who is using their proprietary systems and to protect the integrity and security of the platform.
This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain tight control over their brand, systems, and intellectual property. By preventing franchisees from transferring their access to proprietary tools like MAX/Center, Remax can ensure consistent quality and prevent unauthorized use of its resources.
