What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must ensure that C12 Group receives all fees due under the agreement by the fifth day of each month. Payments can be made via ACH, check, or credit card, with the franchisee responsible for covering any transaction and processing fees associated with credit card payments.
The FDD also states that C12 Group reserves the right to modify the due dates and methods of payment for all payments due under the agreement. This means that C12 Group could potentially change the payment deadline or acceptable payment methods at its discretion.
If a C12 Group franchisee fails to submit the monthly Area Chair Activity and Payment Report by the fifth business day of each month, they will be charged a late fee of $100. Additionally, any unpaid royalty fees that are past due for more than thirty days will be subject to a monthly compounded interest rate of 1.5%, or the maximum interest rate allowed by law. Late fees and interest must be paid together with the royalty fees.
