What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of 'Brand Development Fund Contribution Percentage' is found in Article 9.A of the Franchise Agreement. The Brand Development Fund is used for advertising, marketing, and development programs to enhance the Deer Solution brand.
The Brand Development Fund Fee is a mandatory and continuing fee that franchisees must pay, and the Brand Development Fund Contribution Percentage determines the amount. While the franchisee pays into this fund, Deer Solution has sole discretion over the fund's strategic direction, creative concepts, and geographic allocation.
Deer Solution will provide written notice to the franchisee regarding the Brand Development Fund Contribution Percentage. The franchisee will then be required to pay the Brand Development Fund Fee, which may also be pre-deducted from the franchisee's gross sales at Deer Solution's election. Franchisees should carefully review Article 9.A of the Franchise Agreement to fully understand how the Brand Development Fund Contribution Percentage is determined and how the Brand Development Fund is managed.
