Franchise Agreement
When you sign a Franchise Agreement you must pay to us a non-refundable initial franchise fee (the “Initial
Franchise Fee”). The Initial Franchise Fee is $15,000 for a geographic area that operates as a single territory
with a population of a minimum of approximately 50,000 people (each a “Territory”).
The method we use
to calculate the Initial Franchise Fee is uniform for all franchises that we offer under this Disclosure
Document, except, as described below.
The Initial Franchise Fee is fully earned by us upon payment and is non-refundable unless we cancel the
Franchise Agreement within 90 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement. We will keep $5,000 of the
Initial Franchise Fee and refund the remainder to you should we cancel the Franchise Agreement within 90
days after you sign the Franchise Agreement if we determine that either: (a) any financial, personal or other
information provided by you is materially false, misleading or inaccurate; or (b) you or your managers fail
to successfully complete our training program or we determine that you or your managers are incapable of
successfully completing our training program. In all other circumstances the Initial Franchise Fee is not
refundable.
Qualified U.S. Military Veterans and First Responders Discount
For qualified individuals who were honorably discharged from any branch of the United States Military or
are First Responders (as defined below), the Initial Franchise Fee shall be discounted by 5%. A “First
Responder” is any current or former police officer, firefighter or emergency medical technician who served
for more than five years in that capacity. The discount must be requested at the time of signing the Franchise
Agreement and represents a one-time discount applicable to only the Initial Franchise Fee for the first
Territory. This discount is subject to our approval of franchisee entering into our franchise system. This
discount cannot be combined with other discounts of the Initial Franchise Fee.
Multi-Territory and Multi-Franchise Discounts
Subject to market type, availability, and our discretion, at the time of signing your Franchise Agreement,
you may request the right to purchase additional territories (each referred to as an “Additional Territory”)
to be added to your Operating Territory and operated under one Franchise Agreement. Each Additional
Territory will be comprised of a population of a minimum of approximately 15,000 people. Your first
Territory and, if applicable, each Additional Territory is collectively referred to collectively as your
“Territories” and, individually, as a “Territory.” When purchasing Additional Territories, the following
initial franchise fees shall apply:
