According to Batteries Plus Bulbs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, most fees payable to the company are non-refundable. Specifically, Note 1 in Item 6 states that all fees are non-refundable unless otherwise noted. This means that franchisees should not expect to receive refunds for fees paid to Batteries Plus Bulbs, with the exception of any fees that are explicitly stated to be refundable elsewhere in the FDD.

This policy has significant implications for prospective franchisees. It is crucial to carefully evaluate the costs associated with each fee and factor them into their financial projections, as these payments are generally non-recoverable. Franchisees should be prepared to pay these fees as required, understanding that these funds will not be returned, regardless of the franchisee's performance or circumstances.

Given this non-refundable policy, it is advisable for potential Batteries Plus Bulbs franchisees to seek clarification from the franchisor regarding any specific situations where a refund might be considered. Understanding the conditions under which exceptions may be made can help franchisees better manage their financial risks and expectations.
