When completing the receipts form for Aerus, is it required to attach a voided check?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when completing the Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization form, a franchisee is required to attach one voided check for the account listed on the form. This authorization allows Aerus to debit the franchisee's account for payments due to them. The franchisee agrees to indemnify both the depository and Aerus for any losses resulting from these debits, including dishonored payments.

This requirement ensures that Aerus has the correct banking information to process electronic payments. By providing a voided check, the franchisee confirms the accuracy of the bank account and ABA numbers, reducing the risk of errors in payment processing. This also streamlines the payment process for both the franchisee and Aerus, as it automates the transfer of funds.

The franchisee is responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in the designated bank account to cover the payments. If a debit is not honored, the franchisee agrees to indemnify Aerus and the depository for any resulting losses. The authorization remains in effect until the depository and Aerus receive at least 30 days' written notice of termination from the franchisee. This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as it allows for efficient and reliable payment processing.
