Where in the Deer Solution FDD can I find information on Royalty Fees for a Deer Solution franchise?

According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 23, titled "Receipts," mentions Royalty Fees in the context of obligations upon termination of the franchise agreement. Specifically, it states that upon expiration or termination of the agreement, the franchisee must immediately pay all sums and fees due to Deer Solution, including Royalty Fees and Advertising Contributions. This indicates that details about the calculation, payment schedule, and other terms related to Royalty Fees would likely be found elsewhere in the FDD, potentially in the franchise agreement itself or in sections detailing ongoing fees and obligations.

While Item 23 acknowledges the existence of Royalty Fees, it does not provide specifics on how these fees are calculated or when they are due during the normal operation of the Deer Solution franchise. The passage focuses solely on the franchisee's financial responsibilities to Deer Solution upon the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. This highlights the importance of understanding all financial obligations, including ongoing royalties, before entering into a franchise agreement.

To fully understand the Royalty Fee structure, a prospective Deer Solution franchisee should refer to the sections of the FDD that detail ongoing fees (likely Item 6) and the full franchise agreement. It would be prudent to ask Deer Solution for clarification on the standard Royalty Fee percentage, the frequency of payments, and any conditions that might affect the Royalty Fee amount. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the financial viability of the franchise.
