We offer franchises to qualified individuals and entities to develop and operate a business that offers primarily wholesale distribution of certain automotive parts and other products we specify from a warehouse location operated in accordance with our specifications to manage inventory, delivery and services which are provided to automotive repair shops, parts stores, body shops, and other repair shops (collectively, “Shops”) located within a defined geographical area. In this disclosure document, we call these businesses “1-800-RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouses,” and we call the 1-800-RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouse that you operate under the Franchise Agreement the ‘Warehouse.” 1-800-RADIATOR & NC® Warehouses operate under the trademark and service mark “1-800-RAD1ATOR & A/C®” and associated logos, trademarks. Service marks, commercial symbols, and e-names, which have gained and continue to gain public acceptance and goodwill (collectively, the “Marks”). You may purchase a new 1-800-RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouse (“Start-up Warehouse”) or you may purchase an existing 1-800-RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouse, which may be owned by us, our affiliate or a franchisee (“Re-sale Warehouse”). You will provide the same products and services to customers, whether you purchase a Start-up Warehouse or a Re-sale Warehouse. In each case, you must sign our current form of Franchise Agreement, which is attached to this disclosure document as Exhibit “B.” We and our affiliates have developed a sophisticated, proprietary operation system (the “Network”) to handle inventory management, purchasing, customer ordering, pricing, delivery, reporting and accounting for 1-800-RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouses. The Network also provides extensive customer and product data that is utilized to drive marketing activities and optimize sales and purchasing. The Network and other parts of the system (the “System”) are fully expandable and can manage increases in volume and revenue. An important part of the System is the Operations Manual (the “Manual”). As of the date of this disclosure document, the automotive parts and products we permit 1-800- RADIATOR & A/C® Warehouses to distribute to Shops include radiators, condensers, air conditioning compressors, fan assemblies, fuel pumps, hoses, exhaust-related products and services and heavy duty hard parts and services (such as heat exchange products, engine cooling accessories, HVAC system components and accessories, engine management and emissions control components, exhaust components, diesel after-treatment products and services, steering and suspension products, fuel storage and delivery system components, medium and heavy duty commercial and institutional truck, tractor and bus components) (the “Core Products”), and other automotive parts and related services we periodically designate (the “Additional Products” and, together with the Core Products, collectively, the “Products”). Certain Products bear a brand owned by an affiliate (“Private Label Products”). As of the date of this disclosure document, Private Label Products include hoses. You may only offer and sell Private Label Products if you qualify for participation in the associated programs which may require additional marketing and compliance with inventory requirements. Private Label Products must be purchased from Approved or Designated Suppliers (defined in Item 8).
