What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of "Advertising Cooperative" is found in Article 9.G. of the franchise agreement. Specifically, the FDD states that the term "Advertising Cooperative" shall have the meaning defined and set forth in Article 9.G. of the agreement.

Article 9.G. outlines the rights of Deer Solution to authorize, establish, designate, and de-authorize local or regional advertising cooperatives within designated markets. If a franchisee's Deer Solution Business or Operating Territory falls within the geographic area of an Advertising Cooperative, the franchisee is obligated to participate in and contribute to it.

The franchisee's contributions to the Advertising Cooperative, as determined by the cooperative, count toward the franchisee's minimum local marketing obligations, but shall not exceed the obligations outlined in Article 9.B. The Advertising Cooperative is intended for administering marketing programs and developing media, subject to Deer Solution's review and approval. All marketing plans and media used by the cooperative or its members require prior written approval from Deer Solution. Deer Solution businesses owned by Deer Solution or its affiliates within the cooperative's area are not required to contribute to the cooperative.
