We offer a Re-Bath® franchise under an agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) that gives you the right to use our Marks and our distinctive business format, systems, methods, procedures, designs, standards and specifications (“System”) to operate a business that offers and sells single-family residential bathroom remodeling services and related products (the “Franchised Business”) in a specific geographic area (“Protected Territory”). The System is described in our confidential Manual (the “Manual”), which includes the System Manual, and other written documents. You must comply with certain specifications in the Manual, but the Manual also contains recommended procedures and tools for you to consider in the operation of your Franchised Business. As a Re-Bath® franchise, you will offer three project solutions: (i) a complete bathroom remodel, (ii) tub and shower updates, and (iii) aging and accessibility solutions. You will offer free in- home consultation where you will work with the customer to design their new bathroom. From there you will remove the old bathroom products and install the new products. You will offer a one-stop solution for the customer's bathroom remodeling needs. Re-Bath® is one of the nation's largest bathroom remodeling companies and is the only nationwide company that offers complete bathroom remodeling services. We provide you the training and tools you need to do these things through a comprehensive onboarding process and by providing you our comprehensive Manual and on-going training throughout the term of your Franchise Agreement. We or our affiliates manufacture some of the products you need for the job. The other products are sourced through preferred vendors with whom we have established relationships. The products we offer include everything from bathtubs, walk-in tubs, and showers, to faucets, fixtures, flooring, lighting, vanities, countertops, wall surrounds and a variety of bath accessories (grab bars, towel holders, robe hooks, etc.). As a Re-Bath® franchisee, you will operate the Franchised Business from a showroom, office, and warehouse located in the Protected Territory. You will offer these bathroom remodeling services and products to home owners and landlords of single-family dwellings located in the Protected Territory. You will operate the Franchised Business under ReBath, LLC's national brand—the RE-BATH® trademark and logo— as well as its additional principal service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems, and slogans (“Marks”). As a Re-Bath® franchisee, we provide you with training, tools and support across each of our System Modules: Marketing, Sales, Product & Installation, Customer Service, and Office Management. Item 11 details the support we currently provide. We are continually developing and improving our System to provide opportunities to grow your business, and may change the System from time to time, including, for example, offering new or different products and services, and using new or different methods, procedures, and standards. We currently negotiate agreements with certain nationwide retailers and distributors (“National Accounts”), such as Home Depot, to offer our franchisees' products and services to their customers. Although our current policy is to offer franchisees the opportunity to participate in National Accounts, we may, at our option, modify, suspend, or repeal our National Account program at any time, and/or modify, suspend, or repeal our consent to allow a franchisee, or all franchisees, to service National Accounts. Item 12 provides additional detail on our National Account opportunities.
