Q: What are Franchise Right?

A: "Franchise Right" is a tiered privilege granted to holders of the FICT ZERO. This benefit allows FICT ZERO holders to apply for and potentially secure franchise rights for the Confiction IP to develop and operate businesses or commercial ventures. To obtain legally-binding franchise rights, the individual or entity must have a FICT ZERO in possession. It acts as a pre-qualification step for franchisees. Holders of the FICT ZERO have the exclusive opportunity to apply for franchise rights, but they must meet certain criteria and go through an approval process. This ensures that the franchises are established by individuals or entities that capable of maintaining the standards and ethos of the Confiction brand.

Q: How is the Franchise Right structured?

A: The Franchise Rights is structured as the following:

• Eligibility and Application: Only FICT ZERO holders are eligible to apply for franchise rights. Applications must be submitted through a specified platform and should detail the proposed business concept, location, and how it will promote the Confiction brand.
• Evaluation and Approval: Applications are evaluated based on their feasibility, alignment with the Confiction IPs, and potential to enhance the brand's image and reach. Approval is at the discretion of Confiction, based on a set of transparent criteria.
• Legal and Contractual Agreement: Once an application is approved, the ZERO holder will enter a formal franchise agreement with Confiction. This legal document will outline the terms of use, commercials, duration of the franchise, and other operational guidelines.
• Support and Oversight: Confiction will provide support in the form of branding materials, promotional strategies, and possibly, initial setup guidance. Continuous compliance with franchise standards will be monitored to maintain brand integrity.
• Retention and Renewal Opportunities: FICT ZERO acts as business license key and should be staked during the duration of contract. Successful franchisees may have the opportunity to renew their agreements or expand their business with additional locations, depending on their performance and adherence to brand standards.

Q: What is the scope of Franchise Right?

A: Franchise Right will be evaluated on case-by-case basis. FICT ZERO acts as the main pre-qualification, while the franchise contract is assessed and qualified with additional legal agreements.
Each application will be evaluated through these scopes:

• Brand Alignment - aligns with the Confiction brand identity and ethos, as well as adhering to the overarching narrative and aesthetic of the Confiction universe.
• Quality Control -standards for quality and customer experience. We might conduct audit and reviews on this as a basis for us to continue or halt the cooperation.
• Geographic Restrictions – we take this into considerations.
• Size and Scope of Operations - small to medium-sized enterprises like themed cafes, merchandise stores, or escape rooms might be ideal, while larger ventures like amusement parks or hotel chains could be restricted due to the complexity and risk involved.
• Legal and Ethical Standards – compliance with laws and regulations. Plus, should uphold high ethical standards.
• Duration and Renewal – we also consider duration and renewal. At application, we give them 1,2,3,4,5 years options.
• The Rights are Non-Exclusive – yet some initial non-compete protection could be discussed, especially during early days.
• Innovation and Independence – boundaries of innovation and independence (if any.)
