How does Burneys Sweets More handle overpayments of royalties?

According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee overpays royalties, the overpayment will be credited to the franchisee's account. This credit becomes effective as of the first reporting date after both Burneys Sweets More and the franchisee determine that the credit is due.

This process ensures that franchisees are not penalized for accidental overpayments and that the excess funds are properly accounted for. The credit applied to the franchisee's account can then be used to offset future royalty payments or other fees owed to Burneys Sweets More.

It is important for franchisees to maintain accurate records of their gross sales and royalty payments to ensure that any overpayments are promptly identified and credited. Franchisees should also communicate effectively with Burneys Sweets More to confirm the overpayment and ensure that the credit is applied to their account in a timely manner.
