What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee's payment is returned due to insufficient funds, All Dogs Unleashed will charge a fee. This fee is $100 per occurrence. In addition to the $100 fee, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing All Dogs Unleashed for any costs and expenses they incur as a result of the non-payment. This charge is due upon demand.
This policy is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors need to protect themselves from the costs associated with processing failed payments. The 'upon demand' due date means All Dogs Unleashed can request immediate payment of the fee and associated costs.
For a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee, it is crucial to maintain sufficient funds in their account to avoid these charges. They should also clarify with All Dogs Unleashed what specific 'costs and expenses' beyond the $100 fee they might expect to reimburse in the event of a payment issue.
