What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, pricing changes for Subscription Fees and other charges related to the SpeedDine Online Ordering System may occur as outlined in Section 11 of the SpeedDine Online Ordering System Subscription Agreement. SpeedLine may notify the Beggars Pizza customer of changes in pricing and/or billing, including Subscription Fees, billing interval, minimum Subscription Fees, acceleration fees, or any other business terms, at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Billing Start Date or as set forth in the Quote.
In the event of a change in the Software products covered, services, support plan, or payment frequency, Beggars Pizza and SpeedLine will enter into an additional or replacement Quote. The support service plan amounts and other services fees charged by SpeedLine and as listed in the Quote are subject to change from time to time by SpeedLine giving written notice of the change to the Beggars Pizza franchisee, to become effective at the beginning of the next payment period (i.e., annual, other set period, or monthly), or (a) in the case of Per Incident Support, immediately, (b) in the case of support service plans paid for as part of a subscription Software license, as provided in the SpeedLine Software License Agreement and/or SpeedDine Online Ordering System Subscription Agreement.
This means that as a Beggars Pizza franchisee, you should be aware that the costs associated with the SpeedDine online ordering system are not fixed and can be adjusted by SpeedLine. These adjustments can occur due to changes in the software, services, or support plans, and SpeedLine is obligated to provide written notice of these changes, typically 30 days in advance of the billing date. For 'Per Incident Support', changes can take effect immediately. It is important to carefully review any new quotes or agreements to understand the updated pricing structure and how it may impact your operational costs.
As a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, it would be prudent to discuss with the franchisor the typical frequency and magnitude of these pricing adjustments, as well as any historical data on pricing changes. Understanding the potential for these changes will allow you to better forecast your expenses and manage your budget effectively. Furthermore, clarifying the terms and conditions under which SpeedLine can alter pricing will help you avoid unexpected cost increases and maintain a stable financial outlook for your franchise.
