Under what conditions can Chocolate Fish Coffee determine prices charged by franchisees?

According to the 2024 Chocolate Fish Coffee Franchise Disclosure Document, Chocolate Fish Coffee provides recommended prices for products and services. However, Chocolate Fish Coffee retains the right to determine the prices franchisees charge for goods and services, but this is only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This means that while Chocolate Fish Coffee can suggest pricing, the extent of their control over actual prices charged at the franchise location is limited by laws and regulations. A prospective franchisee should be aware that Chocolate Fish Coffee's ability to mandate pricing may vary depending on the specific jurisdiction and any legal restrictions in place.

It is important for a potential Chocolate Fish Coffee franchisee to understand the legal limitations on price controls within their specific area. They should consult with legal counsel to fully grasp the implications of this clause and how it might affect their business operations and profitability.
