What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, AmeriSpec Inspection Services provides franchisees with up to two email accounts at no cost. However, the franchisee is responsible for any costs incurred in the use of or obtaining access to the email account.
If a franchisee requires more than the two email accounts provided by AmeriSpec Inspection Services, the franchisee will be billed the then-current charge for the additional accounts. AmeriSpec Inspection Services retains the right to charge a license fee for the initial two email accounts in the future, but they will provide at least 30 days' notice before doing so.
This means that while the basic email service is provided, franchisees need to budget for potential costs related to internet access, data usage, or any specific software or hardware required to access and use the email accounts. Additionally, franchisees should be prepared for potential future licensing fees for the email accounts and the costs of additional email accounts if needed.
