What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, subscription fees begin to accrue on the date the service is first made available for users to place orders for the customer's food. Alternatively, the accrual date can be as otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, including in the Quote, which is referred to as the "Billing Start Date."
The billing interval is indicated in the Quote. Beggars Pizza will invoice subscription fees for each billing interval up to ten days before the first day of that billing interval, in advance for that entire interval, unless otherwise agreed to in writing for certain items. These fees are due upon receipt of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed.
If the Billing Start Date is the first day of a calendar month, then the regular, full billing intervals will start on that date. If not, then the regular, full billing intervals will start on the first day of the first full calendar month after the Billing Start Date. Subscription fees for the partial month starting on such Billing Start Date will be prorated and invoiced on or before the Billing Start Date. This means a new Beggars Pizza franchisee may have a partial month charge that is prorated, followed by regular monthly billing cycles.
