What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Post-Termination Non-Compliance Delay Fee is $500. This fee is charged for each day a franchisee fails to meet the de-branding requirements and other obligations after the termination of the franchise agreement.
This means that if a franchisee does not remove Amorino's branding, cease using their operational methods, or fulfill other post-termination requirements in a timely manner, they will incur a daily penalty of $500. This fee continues to accrue for each day the franchisee remains non-compliant.
For a prospective Amorino franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding and adhering to the post-termination obligations outlined in the franchise agreement. Failure to promptly comply with these requirements can result in significant and rapidly accumulating expenses. Franchisees should carefully review Item 17 of the FDD, as referenced in the quoted text, for a more detailed description of termination and post-termination obligations.
