Who is responsible for paying the costs associated with the registration, maintenance, and renewal of domain names that Better Blend approves and maintains on a franchisee's behalf?

According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with the registration, maintenance, and renewal of domain names. This applies specifically to domain names, electronic addresses, websites, or other source identifiers that Better Blend approves and maintains on the franchisee's behalf.

This means that while Better Blend may handle the technical aspects of registering and maintaining these digital assets, the franchisee will bear the financial burden. This could include initial registration fees, annual renewal fees, and any other costs associated with keeping the domain name active and in good standing.

It is important for prospective Better Blend franchisees to factor these costs into their operating budget. Domain names and online presence are crucial for modern businesses, so these are unavoidable expenses. Franchisees should discuss with Better Blend the typical costs involved and the process for approving and maintaining these digital assets to avoid any unexpected financial burdens.
