What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza FDD, the method for a customer to pay fees is determined by the quote or written agreement. Specifically, the customer "shall pay fees as set forth in the Quote, as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed in writing." This indicates that the payment terms are not fixed but are established on a case-by-case basis. The subscription fees begin accruing when the service is available for users to place orders, with the specific date determined by the quote or written agreement. Pricing changes for subscription fees and other charges may occur as stated in Section 11 of the agreement.
The billing interval is specified in the quote, and invoices for subscription fees are issued up to ten days before the start of each billing interval. These invoices are due upon receipt, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the billing start date is the first day of a calendar month, the regular billing intervals start on that date. Otherwise, the billing intervals begin on the first day of the subsequent full calendar month, with subscription fees for the partial month prorated and invoiced accordingly.
If an account becomes delinquent due to non-payment, it will be considered in arrears. All fees and charges are exclusive of value-added taxes, withholding taxes, and other levies, which the customer is responsible for paying. If the currency of payments is not specified in the quote, all payments must be made in United States currency. Any overdue amounts, including disputed amounts resolved in SpeedLine's favor, will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower, until paid.
For a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, this means that the payment terms for services related to the SpeedLine Pay App, including subscription fees, will be detailed in the quote provided by SpeedLine or in a separate written agreement. It is crucial to carefully review these terms to understand the billing cycle, due dates, and any potential penalties for late payments. Additionally, franchisees should be aware of their responsibility for covering all applicable taxes and ensuring payments are made in the correct currency to avoid any financial discrepancies or penalties.
