What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crawlspace Medic Franchise Disclosure Document, the Testing or Supplier Approval Fee covers the cost for Crawlspace Medic to test or approve a supplier. This fee is $500, plus any travel expenses associated with the testing or approval.
This fee is incurred when a franchisee wants to use a supplier or product that is not already approved by Crawlspace Medic. The franchisee must request approval, and if Crawlspace Medic agrees to test or evaluate the proposed supplier or product, the franchisee is responsible for the fee.
The Testing or Supplier Approval Fee is payable to Crawlspace Medic upon request for the testing or approval. This fee, like all fees and expenses described in Item 6 of the FDD, is nonrefundable. This means that even if the supplier or product is not approved, the franchisee will not receive a refund of the fee or associated travel expenses.
