What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be subject to a Post-Termination Non-Compliance Delay Fee. This fee is $500 for each day the franchisee remains non-compliant with de-branding requirements and other post-termination obligations.
This means that if a franchisee fails to remove Amorino signage, branding, or proprietary items after the termination of the franchise agreement, they will incur a daily fee of $500 until the non-compliance is resolved. This fee continues to accrue for each day of non-compliance.
This fee is designed to ensure that former franchisees promptly cease representing themselves as part of the Amorino brand after their franchise agreement ends. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these post-termination obligations and the associated costs of non-compliance, as failing to adhere to these requirements can result in significant financial penalties.
