Does the Beggars Pizza customer acknowledge reading, understanding, and agreeing to the terms of the agreement?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the customer using SpeedLine's online services acknowledges that they have read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions of the agreement. This acknowledgement is confirmed when the agreement is signed by both parties, either on the Signing of Software License and Related Agreements page or separately. This is part of the broader agreement governing the use of SpeedLine's software for online ordering and other services.

This acknowledgement is crucial for Beggars Pizza franchisees because it establishes that customers using the online ordering system are bound by the agreement's terms. This can have legal implications regarding the use of the service, data privacy, and liability. The agreement also specifies that electronic communication is necessary for the customer's use of the service and that SpeedLine may store these communications and user data.

Furthermore, the agreement outlines that SpeedLine is not responsible for any data lost or intercepted during transmission over networks not owned or operated by them, including the Internet. This limitation of liability is a standard practice in software agreements, but it's important for franchisees to understand that they may need to implement additional security measures to protect customer data. The customer's acknowledgement of these terms helps protect both SpeedLine and the Beggars Pizza franchisee from potential disputes related to the online service.

In summary, the acknowledgement clause ensures that customers are aware of their rights and responsibilities when using the online ordering service, which helps to mitigate potential legal issues and sets clear expectations for all parties involved.
