Under what condition will the $35.00 fee to Big O Tires be discontinued?

According to Big O Tires' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a $35 fee is charged to Big O Tires. This fee covers $5 for third-party software and $30 for the general development fund. However, this $35 fee will be discontinued if the contract between Big O Tires and the licensor is terminated.

Specifically, the discontinuation of the fee is tied to the termination of the agreement between Big O Tires and its licensor. If this contract ends at any point during the term of the franchise agreement, the line items related to payments to Big O Tires will cease to be charged, effective from the date of termination.

This condition provides a degree of financial relief to the franchisee in the event that the relationship between Big O Tires and its licensor is severed. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the implications of this clause, as it directly affects their ongoing expenses. Franchisees should seek clarification on the nature of the contract between Big O Tires and the licensor, including the potential circumstances under which it could be terminated, to fully assess the risk and potential impact on their business.
