What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, SpeedLine's provision of a software key and access code to activate the software depends on the type of license the customer has.
For an unlimited-term license, the access code will not expire or will be extended by SpeedLine as necessary. If the license is for a fixed prepaid term or an extended/renewed prepaid term, the access code is valid only for that prepaid term. For a subscription license, the access code is valid only for the duration of the subscription term.
The Beggars Pizza franchisee acknowledges that the software will become inoperable once the access code expires or is withdrawn according to the agreement terms. Additionally, certain installed software may have automatic shutdown features that will render the software inoperable, and online services will become inaccessible if the franchisee is no longer authorized to use them under the agreement.
