Does this section of the Aunt Millies Bakeries FDD mention any penalties for falsifying the Aunt Millies Bakeries FDD receipt?

I am unable to provide information on penalties for falsifying receipts in Aunt Millies Bakeries' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While Item 23 discusses receipts and related financial transactions between Aunt Millie's and the distributor, it does not explicitly mention penalties for falsifying these documents. The document does outline various fees and charges related to settlement inventory report failures and unfinalized invoice fees. For example, there is a $300 charge per occurrence for settlement inventory report failure during quarterly inventory settlement and a $130 fee per occurrence for unfinalized invoices.

However, the FDD does not specify consequences for falsifying receipts. The document does mention potential actions for breaches of the agreement, including termination under certain conditions, such as actions that cause significant harm to Aunt Millie's trademarks or commercial reputation. It also discusses the purchase of receivables and the distributor's obligation to remit charge slips promptly.

To fully understand the potential penalties for falsifying receipts, a prospective Aunt Millies Bakeries franchisee should directly ask the franchisor about this specific scenario. Understanding the full scope of potential penalties and liabilities is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
