What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'system' acquired from SpeedLine Solutions Inc. includes equipment, a software license for on-premises implemented software and software available via online services, support services, and any related services. These components are detailed in the SpeedLine quote attached as Schedule "A" or entered into by the parties periodically.
The agreement specifies that SpeedLine will provide, and the Beggars Pizza franchisee will purchase, receive, or acquire these items based on the terms and conditions outlined in both the agreement and the quote. The software includes computer software, associated media, printed material, and online or electronic documentation. It features an executable copy of the installed software, online services, a database platform for data storage, and pre-set forms for data reports.
However, the agreement explicitly states that it does not grant access to the source code of the software. The license granted to the franchisee is personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable, allowing the franchisee to implement and use one copy of the installed software products at their business location on a specified number of terminals. The terms of the agreement apply to all changes or amendments unless a new Software License Agreement is entered into by the parties at SpeedLine's discretion.
