What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee applying for the Veterans Incentive Program represents and warrants to Cicis that the supporting information provided to confirm their qualifications is true, correct, and satisfies all of Cicis's requirements for participation in the program. This information is provided as part of the application materials or separately.
This representation is crucial because Cicis relies on it to approve the franchisee's participation in the program. If the information changes or is no longer accurate, the franchisee must promptly notify Cicis in writing.
Cicis retains the right to revoke participation in the program if it determines that the franchisee no longer qualifies. This condition underscores the importance of maintaining accurate and up-to-date information regarding veteran status throughout the duration of the franchise agreement. The incentive, typically a waiver of fees, is contingent on the accuracy of the veteran status representation.
For a prospective Cicis franchisee, this means ensuring all documentation and information provided to support their veteran status is completely accurate and verifiable. They must also be prepared to immediately inform Cicis of any changes to their status to avoid potential revocation of the incentive program benefits.
