What is the 'Customer Data Fee' for an Aerus franchise, and where can the specific amount be found?

I am unable to provide the specific amount of the Customer Data Fee for an Aerus franchise, as the provided excerpts from the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document do not explicitly mention a 'Customer Data Fee' or its associated cost. However, the FDD does mention that Aerus owns and maintains a database of customer information referred to as the "Customer Data."

While the exact fee is not detailed, the document refers to various fees that franchisees may be required to pay, such as the 'Administration and Technical Support Fee,' 'Application Fee,' 'Initial Franchise Fee,' 'Location Closure Fee,' 'Minimum Local Advertising Expense,' and 'New Location Fee.' The amounts for these fees are typically specified in Schedule 3 of the Franchise Agreement. It is possible that the Customer Data Fee, if it exists, would also be listed in Schedule 3 or elsewhere in the Manuals.

To obtain the specific amount of the Customer Data Fee and understand the terms associated with accessing and using Aerus's customer database, a prospective franchisee should carefully review Schedule 3 of the Franchise Agreement and consult the Manuals. Additionally, they should directly ask the franchisor for clarification on any fees related to customer data access and usage.
