What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Customer Data Fee is due upon signing the Franchise Agreement and/or renewal. The fee ranges from $0 to $100. Aerus owns and maintains a database of customer information, and may make a portion of this data available to franchisees on a limited, non-exclusive basis, specifically data pertinent to their Area of Responsibility.
The amount of the Customer Data Fee depends on the amount of customer data relevant to the franchisee's Area of Responsibility. This means a new Aerus franchisee might pay nothing if there is no existing customer data for their territory, or up to $100 if there is a substantial amount of relevant data.
It is important for prospective Aerus franchisees to understand how the Customer Data Fee is determined for their specific Area of Responsibility. They should inquire about the availability and extent of customer data during the due diligence process to anticipate this cost. Additionally, franchisees should understand the terms of use for the customer data, as it is provided on a limited, non-exclusive basis, as stated in Item 14 and Exhibit 2(a) and (c), Franchise Agreement, Section 5.A.
