As part of the inquiry process, you will be provided a copy of our annual Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). The FDD is a set of disclosures, referred to as Items 1-23. These disclosures, the contents of which are prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for all franchisors, describe many details about the Epcon Communities Franchise opportunity, such as the expected investment, the obligations of both parties, and the benefits of joining the system. The FDD is not a contract but, rather, is similar to a prospectus. Certain states also require additional disclosure language to be included along with the required FTC disclosures.
One section of the FDD includes samples of legal documents that may become a part of our agreement with you should you be awarded a franchise. The Franchise Agreement is one of those documents. It is important to note that the Franchise Agreement is a stand-alone document, and is the primary contract that will govern our relationship with you.
Please note that nothing substitutes for your careful review of the Epcon Communities Franchise Disclosure Document and we encourage you to carefully review the Franchise Disclosure Document with an advisor of your choice.
