What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee will be charged attorney fees if Craters & Freighters has to take legal action to collect fees owed by the franchisee. The attorney fees will be the actual cost incurred by Craters & Freighters, and they will be due upon billing.
This means that if a Craters & Freighters franchisee fails to pay required fees, such as royalty fees, and Craters & Freighters has to hire an attorney to pursue collection, the franchisee will be responsible for covering those legal costs. This is in addition to the original unpaid fees and any other penalties that may apply.
It is important for prospective Craters & Freighters franchisees to understand their payment obligations and ensure timely payments to avoid triggering this fee. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Craters & Freighters regarding any financial difficulties to explore potential solutions and avoid legal action.
