Where in the Casiola Franchise Agreement can I find the definition of the 'Reporting Non-Compliance Fee'?

According to the 2024 Casiola Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 23 defines several fees and non-compliance events. Specifically, it mentions that franchisees must pay Non-Compliance Fees in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These fees include Payment Non-Compliance Fees, Operations Non-Compliance Fees, and Reporting Non-Compliance Fees.

While the excerpt indicates that Reporting Non-Compliance Fees are part of the broader category of Non-Compliance Fees, it does not provide a specific article or section of the Franchise Agreement where the definition of 'Reporting Non-Compliance Fee' can be found. The document refers to other fees and terms being defined in specific articles, such as the 'Operations Non-Compliance Fee' being defined in Article 7.J, but no such reference is made for the 'Reporting Non-Compliance Fee'.

Therefore, a prospective Casiola franchisee should carefully review the full Franchise Agreement and related exhibits to locate the precise definition and terms related to Reporting Non-Compliance Fees. It would be prudent to ask Casiola for clarification on where this fee is specifically defined within the agreement to fully understand the obligations and potential costs associated with non-compliance in reporting.
