What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, an NSF Check Fee or Failed Electronic Fund Transfer fee is $50 per violation or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is greater. This fee is incurred 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. The fee is payable as incurred.
This means that if a Deer Solution franchisee attempts to make a payment to the company, but the payment is rejected due to insufficient funds or a processing error, the franchisee will be charged this fee. The fee covers the administrative costs and inconvenience Deer Solution incurs as a result of the failed payment.
It is important for prospective Deer Solution franchisees to maintain sufficient funds in their designated bank accounts to avoid incurring this fee. Franchisees should also ensure that their electronic fund transfer systems are properly set up and functioning correctly. This fee is in addition to any other fees or penalties that may be assessed for late or non-payment of amounts due under the Franchise Agreement.
