What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Camp Margaritaville FDD, the terms of the Branding Agreement remain in full effect, except as expressly stated in the Loyalty Program Terms of Use. Upon execution and delivery of the Loyalty Program Terms, the Branding Agreement is considered amended and supplemented as if the changes were originally in the Branding Agreement. The Loyalty Program Terms of Use and the Branding Agreement are to be read and construed as one single instrument.
The term of the Loyalty Program Terms of Use matches the term of the Branding Agreement between Camp Margaritaville and the customer. Termination of the Loyalty Program Terms of Use is automatic if the Branding Agreement is terminated. Camp Margaritaville can terminate the Loyalty Program Terms of Use if the customer cannot or does not honor the terms and perks of the Brand Affinity and Perks Program. If Camp Margaritaville terminates the agreement, the customer must pay a termination fee equal to six months of Loyalty Program fees.
This means that franchisees should carefully review both the Branding Agreement and the Loyalty Program Terms of Use to understand their obligations and rights. The interplay between these documents is crucial, as changes to one can affect the other. Franchisees should also be aware of the conditions under which Camp Margaritaville can terminate the Loyalty Program Terms of Use and the associated financial penalties.
