Which sections of the Aw Franchise Agreement outline the fees a franchisee is obligated to pay?

According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's obligations, including the sections in the Franchise Agreement that detail the fees a franchisee must pay. Specifically, Sections 10, 3.1., 4.8., 5.1., 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 13.3, 14.3, and 14.4 of the Aw Franchise Agreement cover the various fees franchisees are obligated to pay. These obligations are further elaborated upon in Items 5, 6, 7, and 10 of the Disclosure Document.

This means that a prospective Aw franchisee can find information regarding required fees in multiple sections of both the Franchise Agreement and the Franchise Disclosure Document. The cross-referencing in Item 9 serves as a roadmap, directing franchisees to the specific locations where fee obligations are discussed in detail. It is important to review each of these sections carefully to fully understand all the fees associated with operating an Aw franchise.

Understanding these fee obligations is crucial for a prospective franchisee to accurately assess the financial investment required to start and operate an Aw franchise. By consulting the specified sections, potential franchisees can gain clarity on initial franchise fees, ongoing royalties, advertising fees, and other potential costs. This comprehensive understanding will aid in making an informed decision about investing in an Aw franchise.
