What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the maximum Annual Conference Attendance Fee that a franchisee may be charged is $1,500 annually. This fee is paid by the franchisee to Deer Solution. The Annual System Conference is a conference that may be established and organized by Deer Solution for the purpose of facilitating networking among Deer Solution Business franchisees, and general education.
Deer Solution determines whether or not an Annual System Conference will occur, and if so, the dates, content, and location of the conference. The conference will not be more than three consecutive days per calendar year. The franchisee is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with their travel to and attendance at the Annual System Conference.
Even if a Deer Solution franchisee does not attend the Annual System Conference, they are still required to pay the Annual Conference Attendance Fee if Deer Solution chooses to charge it. This means that franchisees could potentially incur the conference fee regardless of their participation in the event. This fee, at Deer Solution's election, may be pre-deducted from Gross Sales.
