When is the NSF Check Fee due for a Deer Solution franchise?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the NSF Check Fee of Failed Electronic Fund Transfer is payable "as incurred." This fee, amounting to $50 per violation or the maximum amount allowed by law (whichever is greater), is charged if a franchisee's bank account has insufficient funds or fails to process a payment or transfer related to a fee owed to Deer Solution.

In practical terms, this means that a Deer Solution franchisee will be responsible for covering the NSF check fee any time their bank account lacks sufficient funds to cover a payment to the company. This can occur due to simple oversight, such as forgetting to deposit funds, or more serious financial issues. Because the fee is due as incurred, Deer Solution can demand immediate payment as soon as the issue arises.

Franchisees should ensure they maintain adequate funds in their designated bank accounts to avoid triggering this fee. It's also important to note that Deer Solution has the right to electronically debit payments from the franchisee's account, so franchisees must be proactive in managing their finances to prevent NSF issues. The fact that the fee is the greater of $50 or the maximum allowed by law means that franchisees in certain jurisdictions could face even higher penalties depending on local regulations.
