According to Cool Binz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Disclosure Acknowledgement Questionnaire is included as Exhibit H. The document includes a notice for prospective franchisees who reside in, or intend to operate the franchised business in the states of California, Maryland, and Washington, instructing them not to complete the questionnaire or respond to any of the questions contained within.

The questionnaire requires prospective Cool Binz franchisees to review and provide honest responses to questions related to the franchise agreement. These questions cover topics such as receiving the Franchise Disclosure Document and its exhibits, signing a receipt for the document, discussing the franchise with advisors, understanding factors affecting success, and whether any statements or promises made by Cool Binz representatives contradict the information in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

This questionnaire serves as a confirmation that the franchisee has reviewed critical aspects of the franchise offering and acknowledges key factors influencing their potential success. However, franchisees in California, Maryland, and Washington are exempt from completing it. This acknowledgement helps Cool Binz ensure that franchisees are informed and aware of the terms and conditions before entering into the franchise agreement. The inclusion of this questionnaire is a standard practice in franchising, aimed at protecting both the franchisor and franchisee by documenting the franchisee's understanding of the opportunity and risks involved.
