What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to continue receiving the Club Billing Processing service, a Budget licensee must comply with all the terms and conditions of any agreement signed by ABCR (presumably Budget's parent company or a related entity) or the licensee with the Credit Clubs (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, etc.).
This means that a franchisee must adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by these credit card companies in order to maintain the service. This could include things like maintaining certain security standards, processing transactions in a specific way, or adhering to chargeback policies. Failure to comply with these terms could result in the loss of the Club Billing Processing service.
Budget franchisees should ensure they fully understand the terms and conditions of any agreements with the Credit Clubs and maintain open communication with ABCR to stay informed of any changes or updates to these terms. This proactive approach will help them avoid any potential disruptions to their Club Billing Processing service and maintain a smooth operation.
