Under what circumstances is a Camp Margaritaville customer required to execute a separate license agreement directly with a third-party vendor for Third Party Technology?

According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must enter into a franchisee participation agreement with Givex, the third-party provider for transaction processing and settlement of the Gift Card Program, concurrent with signing the Franchise Agreement. This means that as part of becoming a Camp Margaritaville franchisee, you are obligated to use Givex for gift card processing and must sign a separate agreement with them.

Camp Margaritaville requires participation in a gift card program. This ensures brand consistency and provides a unified system for gift card use across all participating locations. By mandating a specific third-party vendor, Givex, Camp Margaritaville aims to streamline operations and maintain standards within the gift card program.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the costs and terms associated with the Givex agreement should be carefully reviewed. It is important to understand the fees, processing procedures, and any other obligations outlined in the franchisee participation agreement with Givex. This is a non-negotiable requirement for all Camp Margaritaville franchisees.
