undable under any circumstances.
If you sign an Area Development Agreement, you must develop an agreed-upon number of Restaurants within the Development Territory within a certain period of time (the "Development Schedule"). You must pay a Development Fee of $20,000 multiplied by the number of Restaurants that you agree to develop in the Development Territory (the "Development Fee"). If you are a former member of the United States Armed Forces and have been honorably discharged, you must pay a Development Fee of $10,000 multiplied by the number of Restaurants that you agree to develop in the Development Territory. The discounted Development Fee for honorably discharged veterans is limited to five (5) Restaurants. If
your development schedule includes more than five (5) Restaurants, you will pay a Development Fee of $20,000 for each Restaurant that you agree to develop over five (5). You must pay the Development Fee in full when you sign the Area Development Agreement. Except for the discount described above, the Development Fee is uniform, payable for the reservation of future development rights in the Development Territory, and is not refundable under any circumstances. You will sign a separate franchise agreement in our then-current form, the terms and conditions of which may be materially different than the franchise agreement attached as Exhibit A, for each Restaurant opened according to the Development Schedule and pay the nonrefundable then-current Initial Franchise Fee. We will credit $20,000 (or $10,000 if you received the veteran discount) against the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each Restaurant you develop. You will pay the then-current Initial Franchise Fee each time you execute a Franchise Agreement. We will grant additional franchises under the Area Development Agreement according to the terms of the Area Development Agreement.
If you wish to purchase between two (2) and four (4) Restaurants, you will pay us a non-refundable initial franchise fee of $30,000 for the first Restaurant.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you sign an Area Development Agreement, you must develop a pre-agreed number of restaurants within a specific territory and timeframe, as outlined in the Development Schedule, which is based on developing five (5) to ten (10) restaurants.
You are required to pay a Development Fee of $20,000 for each restaurant you commit to developing within the designated territory. However, if you qualify for and receive the veteran discount, the Development Fee is reduced to $10,000 per restaurant. This Development Fee is payable in full upon signing the Area Development Agreement and is non-refundable under any circumstances, as it serves to reserve your future development rights within the territory.
Furthermore, for each restaurant opened under the Area Development Agreement, you must sign Beyond Juicery Eatery's then-current franchise agreement, which may have terms and conditions that differ significantly from the franchise agreement included in the FDD. You will also need to pay the then-current Initial Franchise Fee for each restaurant. However, Beyond Juicery Eatery will credit $20,000 (or $10,000 if you received the veteran discount) against this Initial Franchise Fee for each restaurant developed under the Area Development Agreement.
