As partial consideration for Franchisee's payment of the Technology Fee, Franchisor will establish up to seven (7) email accounts for Franchisee to use exclusively in connection with the Franchised Business.
In the event Franchisee requests any additional email accounts, Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that Franchisee will pay Franchisor's then-current rate for such email account(s), and such amount will be added to the amount of the Technology Fee paid by Franchisee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Craters & Freighters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as part of the technology fee, Craters & Freighters will establish up to seven email accounts for the franchisee to use exclusively for the franchised business. This means a new franchisee will receive a set number of email addresses to manage communications related to their Craters & Freighters business.
If a franchisee needs more than the initial seven email accounts, they can request additional accounts from Craters & Freighters. However, the franchisee will be responsible for paying Craters & Freighters' then-current rate for each additional email account. This cost will be added to the franchisee's technology fee.
This arrangement is fairly typical in franchising, where franchisors often provide essential technology services and charge fees to cover those costs. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in potential costs for additional email accounts if they anticipate needing more than the initial allocation of seven.
