What costs are included in the quality control inspection fee that I must pay to Deka Lash?

According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be subject to a quality control inspection. These inspections may occur annually, or more frequently if the franchisee fails to maintain franchise standards, receives repeated customer complaints, or fails to comply with any provisions of the Franchise Agreement.

The costs associated with the quality control inspection are the responsibility of the franchisee if the inspection is conducted due to failure to maintain standards. These costs include the expenses Deka Lash incurs for transportation, meals, and lodging, as well as the wages of Deka Lash employees related to the inspection.

This means that if Deka Lash determines a quality control inspection is necessary due to a franchisee's poor performance or non-compliance, the franchisee will have to cover all associated costs, which could potentially be a significant financial burden in addition to the costs of correcting any deficiencies identified during the inspection. Franchisees should, therefore, prioritize maintaining high standards and adhering to the franchise agreement to avoid triggering such inspections and incurring these fees.
