What is included in the definition of 'Gross Sales' for a 7 Brew franchise?

ird party).

• 1. "Gross Sales" means the aggregate amount of all revenue and other consideration generated from any source, including from selling products, services, and merchandise; other types of revenue you receive, including the proceeds of business interruption insurance; and (if we allow barter) the value of products, services, and merchandise bartered in exchange for the Store's products, services, or merchandise. However, Gross Sales exclude: (i) federal, state, or municipal sales, use, or service taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority; (ii) proceeds from insurance, excluding business interruption insurance; and (iii) proceeds from any civil forfeiture, condemnation, or seizure by government entities.

In addition, Gross Sales are reduced by the value of employee discounts and promotional or marketing discounts offered to the public not exceeding, in the aggregate, 2% of the Store's weekly Gross Sales. Each charge or credit sale will be treated as a sale for the full price on the day the charge or sale is made, regardless of when you receive payment (whether full or partial, or at all) on that sale. Revenue from gift/loyalty/stored-value cards and similar items we approve for sale at 7 BREW Stores is included in Gross Sales when the card or other item is used to pay for products and services. Your Store may not issue or redeem any coupons or gift/loyalty/stored-value or similar cards unless we first approve in writing their form and content and your proposed issuing and honoring/redemption procedures. We have the right to grant or withhold our approval as we deem best.

We have the right to modify our policies and practices regarding revenue recognition, revenue reporting, and the inclusion or exclusion of certain revenue from "Gross Sales" as circumstances, business practices, and technology change.
