Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC

Printwear Xpress, LLC. places a high value on the relationship with its franchisees. A great deal of information about each franchise is collected by Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC during the course of the relationship between each franchisee and Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC. This Policy describes Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC's information practices and privacy policies regarding information provided by franchisees, and collected during the course of the relationship and discovery phase.

1. Business & Commercial Relationship

The relationship between Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC and a franchisee is a business and commercial relationship. Information collected by Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC from a franchisee and its principal owners, including information relating to the finances of any guarantors of the franchisee's or prospects obligations, is collected solely for the purpose of establishing a business and commercial relationship under the terms of the franchise agreement. At no time does Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC intend or seek to extend credit for personal, family or household purposes. Accordingly, franchisees and individuals who are guarantors of the obligations of franchisees are not "consumers" within the meaning of Federal legislation and applicable regulations.

2. Information Collected by Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC.

In the ordinary course of business, Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC collects, retains and uses information about franchisees and individual guarantors. The franchise application submitted at the time the franchisee applies for the grant of a franchise, requests information about the franchisee and each guarantor. This information includes a personal balance sheet, with details on assets and liabilities, as well as historical income information about individuals. The application form and related submissions are maintained in Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC's files, in confidence. This information is not disclosed or used except for the purpose of verifying that the information submitted is correct, and to enforce any obligation undertaken by the franchisee and any guarantor in favor of Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC or any affiliate.

Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC may solicit additional information from parties named as financial references, which may include financial institutions. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, retain and use information about franchisees to serve their financial needs, to administer their accounts, to keep franchisees informed about products and services that may be of interest, and to administer the franchise agreements and provide our services there under. Some of this information may be published. We may collect information from other sources, particularly from persons a franchisee lists on its franchise application.

3. Franchisee Name, Address and Telephone Number

All of the businesses in the Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC system are operated independently by franchisees. Under the rules of the Federal Trade Commission, franchisors are required to disclose the name, address and telephone number of each franchisee. Accordingly, Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC considers this information to be public information as well.

4. Security Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to non-public, personal information. There is no assurance that these security measures are absolute. We will continue to upgrade our security procedures as commercially appropriate and technology is developed.

5. Sharing of Information

We may share the name, address and telephone number of each franchisee and principal contact with our affiliates for the purpose of offering products and services that we believe may be of interest. We may also provide information to vendors and other parties we believe have offers of goods and services that may be of value to franchisees and their business.

6. Franchise Recruitment Advertising and Inquiries

Persons who provide us with information in response to franchise recruitment advertising should expect that we will use that information to evaluate the prospect for selling a franchise to the petitioner. Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC will disclose the information to persons within Printwear Xpress Franchising LLC who may need to know the information to perform certain tasks associated with evaluation of the information and assessment of the market in which the proposed sign center will be located.
